A New Plan

Great News!

Though my original plan fell through, I continued to look for an opportunity to serve in Haiti, especially because I had already bought the plane tickets. Then I came across another organization with which I could volunteer in Haiti this summer! I will be working at Bethesda Medical Clinic (BMC) in a small town called Vaudreuil, just outside Cap-Haïtien, which is on the northern coast of Haiti. The organization that I am going through is called OMS International, which also runs Raido 4VEH in the same area.

As for what exactly I'll be doing at BMC, I don't know the details yet since it was only decided recently that I'll be volunteering there. However, BMC is one of the top-rated clinics in northern Haiti, sees about 150-200 patients per day, five days a week, and has in-patient care. So I imagine I'll be pretty busy at BMC this summer, and there's no doubt that it will be a challenging and rewarding experience!

Now I have less than two weeks to raise all the funds, but fortunately the total cost of the trip is much lower! All I need to raise now is a total of $2550, and since I've raised $1750 so far, I just need $800 more. So almost there!

Thanks again to all the contributors for your generous donations! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayer.
