Fundraiser on Saturday November 21st, 2015, 6pm to 9pm
for Medical Mission to Haiti (in Feb 2016)
at Parish of the Epiphany http://3crowns.org

Tickets $30/person, $60/family, get them from me ([email protected]) or at the door.

Joan is going on the fifth medical mission to Leogane, Haiti sponsored by a local church, the Parish of the Epiphany in February, 2016. The team of 17 volunteers will stay at the Hopital Ste Croix which organizes mobile medical clinics in rural villages near Leogane. The team will bring medical care, dental care, medication and hope to very poor Haitians. Last year we saw more than 1200 patients and filled over 5000 prescriptions, which was a record. Besides the prescribed medications, each patient receives a toothbrush and toothpaste and a 3 month supply of vitamins. We also gave out hundreds of pairs of reading glasses. Please visit our website at http://www.mobilemissionhaiti.org/ for more information and access to the blog entries from previous years.

We would deeply appreciate any financial help you can give. Apart from the money paid to Hopital St Croix for our room and board, we provide a much needed week of paid employment to a Haitian doctor, dentist, nurse, 12 translators and 2-3 drivers. We also need to raise almost $10,000 to buy all the medications that we take with us to Haiti to supply our clinics.
