Currently, North Carolina Baptists have sent 3 medical teams to Haiti. The first team was able to get into Haiti on Friday, January 15. The second team of 13 got into Haiti on Wednesday, January 20. They have been working hard at a hospital and meeting many needs. We have taken in many medical supplies and have bought supplies in the Dominican Republic and taken them into Haiti.
The third medical team of 14 arrived and started working on Monday, January 25. Medical team 4 is scheduled to leave for Haiti on Saturday, January 30. Teams are taking many needed medical items. The needs right now are medical and very specialized, but in the future there will be many more opportunities for volunteers with other skills.
We are looking at being involved in Haiti for a long time with a variety of projects (mostly construction). |
