1. Confirm team by April 1st.
2. Purchase airfare by April 15th.
3. Confirm housing/transportation/interpreter
We will spend the majority of our time in two communities close to Port au Prince. The ultimate goal is to learn more about the orphan crisis in Haiti and how we can be used to help bring hope and renewal.
1. Pastor Gaetan: Currently cares for 30 orphans and pastors a church of 120 people.
2. Pastor Jean Alix: Local Haitian business man, pastors a church, and has multiple orphanages. His vision is to build 100 homes in his community for his community!
We will spend the evenings learning from local Haitians’ leaders and other Non Profit Organizations. These will be intense times of prayer, discussion and team-building!

If airfare costs are significantly higher, then the trip cost will increase. Also, every trip cost includes $500 that goes directly back to HELP’s key projects in Haiti. We realize that these trips give our teams opportunities to serve our friends in Haiti, but HELP also desires to empower local Haitians and provide them with much-needed job opportunities. So these funds will go back to development work and employment for local Haitians.
