Haiti Mission Trip

Westminster makes yearly trips to Haiti to work with Family Health Ministries. Jobs vary from mountainside construction, teaching in the schools to holding health clinics. In the poorest country in the western hemisphere, hope is being provided through projects that emphasize self-help and self-sufficiency. Throughout the week volunteers work side by side with the Haitians.
