Haiti — December 26, 2011 - January 2, 2012
International Medical Relief has been on the ground in Haiti since the earthquake struck. Now, our next team will be in Port-au-Prince nearly one year after the earthquake to aid the Haitians through their continual battle for survival. We will continue to stand strong for the people of Haiti. Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Haitians face continued peril as weather and crowded camp conditions persist. Yet, the optimism of the Haitian people, who have long endured suffering, shines above all of these most recent hindrances. Our Haitian friends will welcome you proudly with their bright Caribbean spirit. Laughter and music resonate on the busy streets as shopkeepers, eager to sell, line the sidewalks. The Haitian art famous for its brilliant colors depicting the people, flowers, fields and common scenes come to life as you immerse yourself into their equally vibrant culture and hearts.
For more information about the trip or an application, please email Karla Prentiss, at KarlaP@InternationalMedicalRelief.org

On January 12, 2010 a massive earthquake left 230,000 people dead and 1.6 million people homeless. In November, 2010, Hurricane Tomas hit the disaster-stricken nation causing widespread flooding. Infectious disease and crowded tent cities mean that IMR medical teams are more needed than ever. We will be working inside the tent cities and in the small town hardest hit by Tomas, the January earthquake, and disease.
