Rowan Southern Baptist Association Haiti Mission Trip Up-Date |
|
Currently, North Carolina Baptists have sent 3 medical teams into Haiti. The first team was able to get into Haiti on Friday (1-15-2010). The second team of 13 people got into Haiti on Wednesday (1-20-2010). They have been working hard at a hospital and meeting many needs in Haiti since January 15. We have taken in many medical supplies and we have bought supplies in the Dominican Republic and taken them into Haiti. The third medical team left for Haiti on Sunday, January 24. They also flew to the Dominican Republic and drove across the border into Haiti. There were 14 people on this team. Medical team 4 is scheduled to leave for Haiti on Saturday, January 30. Teams are taking many needed medical items into Haiti. Right now the needs are medical and very specialized, but in the future we will have many more opportunities for volunteers with other skills to be used in Haiti. We are looking at being involved in Haiti for a long time with a variety of projects (mostly construction).
