Haiti Medical Mission 2015

It takes a village to raise a child. And it takes a mountain of people to get our trips off of the ground. The team members of Hands4Hope are so very grateful for everything that was donated to our travels. Every bandaid, every shoe will be given to help others in our goals for better health for all.

And with all these donations, it takes each team member to help us get ready for the trip. That means gathering early, sorting items to fit into the suitcases, the inevitable weighing of the bags, and finally the packing them into the vehicle. Take a look at what we took with us, how me managed to get it all in the suitcases, how we managed to get them all loaded into the car, and the fun we had in the process.

Some of the supplies donated for our trip. Betadine swabs and hibiclens are important ways to help protect against infection.	A donation of many pairs of new shoes, all sizes, all types. Donated to Pastor Pierre's church in Carrefour. Thanks to Dr. Corbet and her family for these.
More supplies which members of the team purchased. These over the counter medicines help to supplement the medicines that are purchased in Haiti.	More donated supplies. We were blessed to have so many items to take with us on this trip. Included here are ace wraps, syringes, and dressing supplies.
