Haiti #1, January 2010.
I was invited to Haiti, 2 weeks after the earthquake to join a team with Mission Of Hope/Haiti to provide medical care to the earthquake victims. It was an amazing time working in the tent city in front of the presidental palace, with hundreds in injured people. I was also involved in turning a small clinic into a functioning hospital caring for fresh post op surgeries.

Haiti #2, May 2010
Returning to Haiti wirh Mission Of Hope with a strong medical group and a construction group, to help in the rebuilding process of the country. We visited 5 tent cities, treating over 1,000 people. Medical care was very different with this trip, as it was not as much trauma, but more medical needs.

Haiti #3, October 1-8th, 2010.
A group of 22 will be travelling to Haiti with The Children’s International Life Line. They are a Christian mission serving CHRIST and the people of Haiti. They have had a strong presence in Haiti for years. There are many new tent cities inside and outside of Port au Prince that desperately need medical attention. We will serve these people taking care of their medical and spiritual needs. We praise GOD for the opportunity to serve HIS people in Haiti.

Plans are well underway for PERU 2011. I am very excited about this trip, because we will be travelling on the new boat-not sure of the name of it-possibly CHOSEN VESSELL #2. The boat is much bigger, can travel much faster and my hope is that we will sail deeper into the jungle and begin work in new villages.

There is still time to sign up if you are interested. The trip is an 8 day trip-Feb 26 to March 6, 2011.

I will be keeping in contact with you by this web site now. I am in need of toothbrushes, thread for sewing, and little girls hair pins/ribons etc. I wanted to thank you for all the items you have collected. George and Carol Hicks are bringing 2 new treddle sewing machines to leave in the villages, Sandy Tolbert, who is a professional seamstress will teach the ladies how to sew. She is bringing bags of material. Max Dorman has purchased solar lights-enough for each home to have 2, Larry Belsey has purchased rolls of fishing line. I would like to help the men make fishing nets and then go fishing with them. Jeff Chapman is bringing a new eye glass system where we can test everyone, young and old, who is having vision problems and send them home with a perscription perfect for them. I know there are others of you who have been collecting. Please let me know. Thank you so much, everyone for all you are doing. We truly are the hands and feet of the MASTER.  See you on the 19th of Jan. In Canada, I will see you on the 23rd.

                                                                                                                Blessings,

                                                                                                                    Joyce
