Hey SJM,
We’re looking for a group of 5-6 of our fellow post-baccs to join us on a volunteer trip to Haiti. Because of the limited time we have available to volunteer, we have chosen to go through a group called Global Volunteer Network. This group organizes placements for individuals and groups who wish to volunteer in Haiti and other places around the world. Check out their website: http://www.
Here are some details of the trip:
What: A two week volunteer trip to Haiti, based in either Port au Prince or a smaller coastal city called Jacmel. Possible opportunities include clinical work, teaching, construction, working with children, working with displaced people, and community development. The placements are made based on each individual’s skill and the pressing needs at the time, but since we are going as a group, they will make an effort to place us together.
When: August 14th-September 1st (Perfect for those taking summer classes!!)
Cost: Application fee $100 (to be paid ASAP in order to reserve a spot)
$997 for the program, which includes accommodations and 3 meals a day (to be paid by June 14th)
Airfare approximately $350-$400
It's short notice, but because of the time table we are on, we would like to know by next Wednesday, May 19th if you have serious interest in going. The earlier the better!!Please contact Sarah Wilkinson: sarahw325@gmail.com if you are interested or have more questions.
THANKS!!!
Sarah, Erin, Kevin
