October 3 - 11 Medical Mission Trip to Leogane, Haiti

Early Saturday morning, October 3rd, FHM's fall medical mission team will make its way to Haiti.

On Sunday they will visit FHM's Blanchard Clinic (the building with the stairs) after attending church at the Terre Noire Christian Community church, both in Port-au-Prince. See more pictures and read about FHM's work in Blanchard at http://familyhm.org/Blanchard%20public%20health.htm

Then the group will travel to Leogane, setting up the medical clinic in preparation for Monday morning and the arrival of patients. Read more about FHM's work in Leogane at http://familyhm.org/Health%20Women.htm including pictures of the clinic space.

When the clinic is complete, the team will travel to Fondwa to visit the school that FHM supports and the orphanage where construction is almost complete. See pictures and details of FHM's work there at http://familyhm.org/Health%20Children.htm

Part of the fun will be a picnic at the beach. The group will return to PAP on Saturday for lunch in town. Sunday is a travel day back to RDU.

If we're lucky, we'll blog while we're in Haiti, so watch this space. Internet access depends on electricity, which is sometimes iffy, so don't worry if you don't hear from us regularly.
