Youth On Mission's Frank Dees and Bob Adams will travel with a team of 20 volunteers to the DR and Haiti the week of Feb 27. The team will assist in the relief and recovery efforts with our partners at SCORE International. The team is currently in need of monetary donations to purchase medical supplies, food, and water, to distribute in Haiti.
In addition to this initial trip, YOM will be working with SCORE to recruit and send additional mission teams in the coming months.Please check back often for updates on future trips and pray for our team as we prepare to go.
Ministry Locations:
SCORE International has established ministry locations in 3 separate cities. We will travel to one of the following ministry cities
1. Port au Prince (PAP) In PAP we are working with an orphanage that sits right beside the runway for the airport. Teams will use the orphanage as a base camp to distribute supplies and provide medical help.
2. Jacmel, Haiti This is a town on the southern coast of Haiti, about 30 miles south of PAP. Jacmel is not getting relief teams because of the difficulty of reaching the location. SCORE is working with the Mayor of Jacmel and we have a building that we can use for our base camp there.
3. Jimani, D.R. This is the town right on the border of Haiti. Refugees are flooding out of Haiti and coming to Jimani. A local hospital there has offered to let SCORE use an entire floor of the hospital to work with the refugees. This will be a location where medical teams can provide much needed relief.
