Haiti January 2017
Unlike most Haiti Cheri mission trips, this mission will primarily be focused on activities in our clinic facility in Cap-Haitien. Our typical mission involves an extended stay in rural communities. We will be working on projects to improve the electrical system in the clinic, air conditioning, and medical support and training for our clinic staff. While everyone is welcome, those having electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or medical expertise are especially encouraged to apply. In addition to the work in Cap-Haitien, we are likely to visit the community of Plaine-du-Nord and the village of Phaeton.
The information requested on the application helps you, your mission team leaders, and your church contacts to all have a positive mission experience, so it's essential that the application be completed in its entirety. Don't be worried about your answers. Our founder, Dr. Oris Guillaume, says "It's not about your skills, it's about your availability!" We don't expect everyone to fit the stereotype of the "perfect missionary." With the answers from everyone on the developing team, we'll be able to craft a mission experience that will bring the greatest impact to you as well as those we will serve in Haiti.
The cost of the trip payable to Haiti Cheri including all in-country expenses is $1400. Travelers are responsible for airfare and booking flights for travel from their home location to Cap-Haitien, Haiti. We will provide guidance for your air travel. American Airlines is currently the only major airline providing service to Cap-Haitien. Additional expense considerations are passport fees, immunizations, travel incidentals, etc. Please submit a deposit of $100 with your application, which will not be processed if for any reason Haiti Cheri does not accept your application. Also, you will be able to create your own fundraising page for your mission so your friends and family can help you go on mission.
If you find that you are unable to raise $1400 payable to Haiti Cheri, please let us know. The minimum to travel is $900. The additional $500 will be applied to ministry projects you will see with your own eyes while you are in Haiti. We do not want to deny anyone the opportunity to come and see Haiti, though, so please let us know if this represents a hardship of any kind.
