Flights Booked!

Our flights for Port-Au-Prince are officially booked for March 10th!  Now all of our preparation efforts are towards lesson planning, finding teaching material in Haitian Creole and first aid supply purchasing!

Would your life be the same with 10 less dollars? If so please consider what life saving equipment that $10 could buy. With $10 you could buy a one way valve CPR mask that can provide someone in cardiac arrest with oxygen, while providing protection to the rescuer; it could buy you a box of gloves to help protect teachers from their students contagious bodily fluids and help stop the spread of cholera, it could buy a splint to help immobilize an injury, the list continues. If donating $10 to buy these supplies would not impact your life I'm asking you to please consider it and the help it would provide. In order to make an impact on our trip we need help to buy supplies. Please consider helping us, thank you! :-) 

Please considering donating to our cause, we organized this trip on our own and are funding our own accommodations and flights to get there, now we need the help of others to carry out our projects!  Many medical trips that college students take ask for a ridiculously large fee ($3000) which the students have to fundraise, but what most people don't know is that that 3000 is going to the large organization, not the individual communities.  Our self-designed project is not through a large organization or our college.  We are alone in our efforts and are responsible for bringing all the supplies we need and these supplies are going directly to the community.  We can't do it without your help!

I want to thank everyone who has donated thus far! Your contribution will go directly towards buying the teaching materials and first aid supplies necessary to make our trip meaningful with a long lasting impact on the Haitians in the community.
