ROCOR Volunteers in Mission
Mission to Jacmel, Haiti   - January 18-26, 2015

With the Blessing of Metropolitan Hilarion, a team of volunteers will travel to Jacmel, Haiti to do work for the Orthodox mission there. The Metropolitan will be visit with us for part of our time in Jacmel.  The construction will be supervised by Alex Gertsovitch, a skilled carpenter. Skills are helpful but not necessary to join in this effort. 
The approximate cost for the trip is $1100 which includes airfare from Fort Lauderdale to Port au Prince, ground transportation, meals while in Haiti, and accommodations.  Volunteers will need to arrive in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, January 17, so that the entire group can fly together to Port au Prince on Sunday, January 18. Due to the difficulty of ground transportation, we cannot arrive in Port au Prince at different times and we cannot leave at different times. 
Since space is limited, those interested should fill out an application (http://www.eadiocese.org/vim/Volunteer%20form%20EN.pdf ) and return it to Fr. John Moses as soon as possible. We need secure seats on the airline before they are sold out. 
This will be a meaningful and life changing event. Please inform your Church and family that you wish to go and I know that they will help to support you. And, as always, we can use all the extra money that you can generate for the mission.  I have a slide show of pictures that I can send to you for promoting your trip. 
Once you apply I will send you a packet of information which will include addresses and phone numbers. 
Join us and our brothers in Haiti.
