Mission Hearts – Volunteers Needed

Mission Hearts – Volunteers Needed

Mission Hearts (an outreach of Mission United Methodist Church) is returning
for our fourth visit to Haiti in less than a year. Our work is primary with
the deaf and disabled in the capitol of Port au Prince, where over 1 million
300,000 are still living in tents, many of which after a year are falling
apart.

We will be working at the deaf camp where 400 are struggling to survive with
food supplies running out and cholera has now taken the life of one deaf
camp member. We will also be providing medical care at St. Vincent’s school
for the deaf and handicapped as well as working with the teachers and
students.

There is still great need in Haiti and those who are deaf and disabled are
particularly vulnerable in emergency situations and are always the last to
receive food or assistance in times of disaster.

Volunteers from all walks of life, deaf and hearing are still needed for the
next trip in March but especially needed is a dentist and orthopedic
specialist. Chris White from Lavaca, our RN Air Vac nurse heads up our
medical team which includes one physician and 3 RN’s . If anyone is
interested in serving with this team please contact Dee Mathes at
479-430-6568 or visit the Mission Hearts website at
http://www.missionumc.com/mdcc-missionhearts.html for additional
information. If you cannot serve yourself then please consider finically
supporting Mission Hearts efforts to help those in need in Haiti.

The people of Haiti are beautiful, their spirits, their kindness, and their
gentleness is something you will always remember. We hope you will consider
joining us and have your life changed forever by the experience.
