Mission Hearts \u2013 Volunteers Needed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mission Hearts (an outreach of Mission United Methodist Church) is returning
\nfor our fourth visit to Haiti in less than a year. Our work is primary with
\nthe deaf and disabled in the capitol of Port au Prince, where over 1 million
\n300,000 are still living in tents, many of which after a year are falling
\napart.<\/p>\n

We will be working at the deaf camp where 400 are struggling to survive with
\nfood supplies running out and cholera has now taken the life of one deaf
\ncamp member. We will also be providing medical care at St. Vincent\u2019s school
\nfor the deaf and handicapped as well as working with the teachers and
\nstudents.<\/p>\n

There is still great need in Haiti and those who are deaf and disabled are
\nparticularly vulnerable in emergency situations and are always the last to
\nreceive food or assistance in times of disaster.<\/p>\n

Volunteers from all walks of life, deaf and hearing are still needed for the
\nnext trip in March but especially needed is a dentist and orthopedic
\nspecialist. Chris White from Lavaca, our RN Air Vac nurse heads up our
\nmedical team which includes one physician and 3 RN\u2019s . If anyone is
\ninterested in serving with this team please contact Dee Mathes at
\n479-430-6568 or visit the Mission Hearts website at
\n http:\/\/www.missionumc.com\/mdcc-missionhearts.html<\/a> for additional
\ninformation. If you cannot serve yourself then please consider finically
\nsupporting Mission Hearts efforts to help those in need in Haiti.<\/p>\n

The people of Haiti are beautiful, their spirits, their kindness, and their
\ngentleness is something you will always remember. We hope you will consider
\njoining us and have your life changed forever by the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
