Past Trips

Haiti 2013

Project Compassion will be partnering with FFCC (Friends & Family Community Connection) to travel to Haiti in April.  We will depart March 29th on the red-eye flight and have Sunday to prepare for the clinic.  On Monday we will do an educational conference to present clinical updates/info to the MDs and nursing personnel for one day, followed by four days of clinics on Tues through Friday in the hills. We will have our base in a larger community.  Saturday will be a day to enjoy Haiti and Sunday we will depart home.  There is the option to go to the Dominican Republic for a couple of days leaving Sunday at an additional cost for air, hotel, and meals.  I would need to know before booking our flights if you are interested in the DR and how long you would like to stay.

Malawi 2012

Sitting five across in a small van with a jump seat in the middle of each row, our team of 21 Americans, interspersed with 4 Malawi translators, 2 Malawi nurses and 1 Malawi physician, quickly began laughing together and learning from one another as we rumbled over the dusty dirt roads taking us to a rural village in the Blantyre region for our first day of clinic.

Our Project Compassion team was unusually well rested despite the five hour flight from LAX or SFO to New York, the 15 hour flight from NYC to Johannesburg and the 2 hour flight to Blantyre. How could that be? Well, Malawi Air which flew daily flights to Blantyre went bankrupt last year, so flights from Joburg to Blantyre now only happen twice a week. We had to arrive in Malawi on Saturday, which left Sunday free for a 2 hour morning worship service in a Malawi church, during which the PC team was commissioned by the congregation with prayers and hugs. Pill counting, packing, and labeling individual doses of medications filled the afternoon, although most team members also sneaked in a nap.
