Who will go?

Now that I'm home from Haiti, I'm thinking about the next trip there and how we can continue to love on and bless the precious children of the orphanages we partner with there. The needs are great but the workers are few. Will you go serve in Haiti? We need you! The children need you! If the Lord is tugging at your heart to go serve the least of these in Haiti - He will be faithful to provide the means to go. After all, He loves those kids even more than we do!

What: Visiting Orphans Mission Trip 
When: March 5 -12, 2011 
Where: HAITI - Port au Prince & Surrounding Areas
How much: $2100 - $2300 - will vary depending on what city you are flying out of
cost includes all flights, all food, lodging, transportation, tips
Where do we stay: Heartline Guest House
What do we do: We take supplies with us to bless the orphanages - this varies each time depending on what their current needs are. The team will have conference calls at least one month before the trip so you will have plenty of time to coordinate who is bringing what and coming up with ideas for activities to do with the kids. We play with the kids, do arts & crafts, tell them bible stories and just love on them - which often means just having 3 kids on your lap giving you lots of hugs! 
Orphanages: We have partnered with 3 orphanages - this team will be visiting at least 2 of them. One is called Well Being and is home to 30 kids who currently live under a large Unicef tent. Another is Children of Hope Orphanage in a beautiful rural area called Thomazeau located an hour outside of Port au Prince - home to 43 children. The third possibility is the Children Household of Tomorrow Orphanage in the heart of Port au Prince, home to 44 children and recent recipients of 45 beds that Sweet Sleep provided and our VO team assembled.
