Attend an ORIENTATION/BRIEFING meeting for anyone interested in deployment to Haiti with the Disaster Response teams through ACTS World Relief over the next several months.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday March 3, 2010 from 7 to 8:45 p.m., room 4209.

This will be a required meeting for anyone thinking about deployment over the next several months.  We will have two nurses from the Haiti 2 team describing the setup of the clinic, the mission, deployment requirements and the expectations. In addition, there will be presentations from the emotional and spiritual care teams on the mental and physical challenges of the trip.

The immediate needs in Haiti are medical (non-surgical), medical support personnel, emotional and spiritual support, and some kitchen help.

All applicants for deployment will be required to complete the deployment package, which includes a background check, passport requirements, as well as the necessary shots which must be able to be verified. All shots must be completed six weeks prior to travel. Please plan on attending even if you participated in the Haiti 1 trip (and would like to be deployed again) since the mission has changed.

This orientation/briefing will not be repeated prior to May 15, 2010. If you have an interest in travel between now and May, please attend this meeting. We will show a short video of Haiti as well as a slide show of the highlights of the past two trips. Many members from both trips will be on hand to answer any questions that you may have.
