Hands on Haiti Now

The Southern Baptist assessment teams are hard at work in Haiti and we
are preparing to immediately send Hands On and Fusion teams to assist
with ministry to the Haitian people. These teams will base initially
on the Dominican Republic/Haiti border and will move in and out with
the goal of moving into Haiti permanently as soon as possible.

We are looking for an immediate team of 6 Hands On students to leave
on Feb. 3rd to work in Haiti through the end of June. Students will
fly to Atlanta on Feb. 3rd for an overnight training and orientation and then on to the DR.

This will be a Hands On team and thus will have all the normal benefits of Hands On. Because of this urgent need, we are waiving most of the $2900 fee for Hands On service. Students serving on this team will be required to raise $1000 for this semester of service. We will also have some flexibility with them about when they will submit this fee.

How will this work:
We know that many of you have recently accepted or been accepting student applications. We will not be accepting reservations, but if you have a student or young adult that is approved to serve through your state and wishes to serve on the Haiti team, you may email me
directly and secure a spot for them. This is first-come first-served. This opportunity is also being given to Hands On applicants slated to deploy in fall of 2010.

Please remember:
Hands On students must be members of Southern Baptist Churches
For this assignment only: Applicants must be 20-29 years of age

Preferences for applicants:
Extremely flexible people
French and/or Creole language skills
People with a media background
People with Disaster Relief training/experience are helpful
Former Hands On students
People in good physical shape

SEE POST BELOW about opportunities for teams this summer and over spring break. Also, there will be Hands On semester opportunities for July-December.
