In January of most years, CHP sends a medical team of 15-20 medical professionals and layperson helpers to set up a temporary clinic at St. Paul’s Mission in Petit Trou de Nippes, Haiti. The January 17 – 29, 2008 Medical Mission Trip is accepting applications until November 1, 2007. Total cost of the mission will be approximately $2,000 per person.
The Trip Leader is Marti O'Dell, one of the pioneers of the Colorado Haiti Project and co-founder of the Konbit student sponsorship program to support the St. Paul's School. Below is her Letter of Invitation to the January 2008 Medical Mission. For more information on the Mission, contact Marti at LuvSon@aol.com.
