In less than a week, our team of 15 people will be heading to Haiti for a week. We will be staying and working with Mountaintop Ministries (MTM), which is located in an area about 45 minutes from Port-a-Prince. We will work directly in the mountain-village of Gramothe, where MTM focuses much of their programs & ministries. There is a lot of amazing life-changing work going on there and we are honored to be able to partner with them.
This will be Illini Life's first time sending a team to Haiti, and a lot of our focus for this trip will be spent learning more about the Haitian people, Mountaintop, and determining how Illini Life might fit into this picture. We are hopeful that God will use our team to aid with MTM's efforts, while also being an encouragement to the people of Gramothe.
From what we understand (things may always change once we get there), our team will be divided into three different groups.
- One group will be helping to set up their school's computer lab & provide training for the equipment.
- One group will be working alongside a Haitian construction team to build a hospital.
- One group will be partnering with a team from UIC-Chicago to run a medical clinic.
More details to come once we are on the ground in Haiti :-)
