Upcoming Outreaches
Vanua Levu, Fiji
For the fourth time in five years we will be sending a team to Fiji. We will again partner with Marine Reach Ministries as we sail, on the Pacific Link.
The focus of this outreach will again include dental, eye and public health clinics as well as construction and childrens ministries.
Dr, Henry Van Hala and Dr. Timothy Yannone will be returning assisted by Dr. Stephen Diakoff. We are in need of dental assistants and dental hygienists!
We are waiting for confirmation from an Optometrist and Opthalmologist. We will also need assistants for all areas that require no professional education.
Public Health clinics will be set up in surrounding villages. We are in need of a general Practitioner as well as nurses.
THE PROJECTS HAVE YET TO BE DETERMINED
We will creatively engage children who are waiting to see a doctor by playing games, doing crafts, singing songs, braiding hair, anything that builds friendship. By doing this, we are putting the child at ease as well as letting both the children and parent know we genuinely care about them. This is a great opportunity for families with children or teens and twenty-somethings to be an integral part of making a difference in the life of a child
If you are interested in serving in Fiji in 2009 please email Cindy Mandrell or call 330-904-3865 and maybe YOU will be in the next team picture!
