Immunizations

Went to the Bear River Health Department to get some shots today. Actually I only received one shot, for Tetanus with whooping cough (TDAP). I did get it for a "special project" price since I do not have health insurance, that was nice. I also received pills for an oral typhoid fever immunization. It is a four pill series that I take every other day, at least one week before we go, I'll start taking it tonight most likely. I also received a prescription for malaria meds. I went with Doxycycline. It will require one pill the two days before we leave, one pill for every day while we are there, and one pill everyday for four weeks when we get back. It is a lot of pills, but it is the cheapest way to go for this immunization. I was already up to date on all of my other immunizations, so there was nothing too difficult for this trip.

Dear Friends and Family,

Greetings to you and your family, I hope that you are doing well today.

I am excited to share with you about an opportunity I have to serve the Lord. This summer I have the opportunity to travel to Haiti on a two week mission trip. I will be traveling with a group of Christian friends, mostly from Utah. There will be about 12 of us who will be there between August 16 – 30^th 2011.

Our work there will center on an orphanage called the Cap Haitien Children’s Home in Cap Haitien (caphaitienchildrenshome.org). This orphanage was established by the Southwest church of Christ in Ada, Oklahoma. They are still very deeply involved in the ministry there, but they are always in need of help.

Why Haiti: Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere 

·         80% of Haitians live in poverty

·         54% of the people live on less than $1 per day

·         Haiti only has a 53% literacy rate

·         Haitian life expectancy is only 57 years

This summer our trip will focus on improving the harsh living conditions of the children’s home. There are pools of water that lay on the property that are breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry the deadly disease of malaria. Other construction projects to improve the area in and around the children’s home will also be taking place.

             

In order to make this trip as successful as possible it would be great to have your support. Our budget (Per Person):

Roundtrip Flight………….. $800

Local Transportation………$200

Food and Lodging…………$350

Supplies, etc. ………...……$200

Total Costs ………………..$1550 (per person)
