Meaningful Missions: Impacting Lives Daily With Clean Water, Education & Medical Support Details
In 2012 Haiti was declared the poorest country in the world by "The World Bank"Haiti teaches its own lessons but also offers an education in recognizing need everywhere we look. After her first Haiti mission trip, Dr. Annette Bosworth returned home with a new perspective. Why, she wondered, did it take a trip to the tiny island nation to open her eyes to poverty on the prairies, in local towns, and on the reservation? It was as if she'd been looking at South Dakota through a filter. Now, every mission trip heightens her ability to see people in need.The nonprofit organization Preventive Health Strategies organizes these mission trips. Are you ready to see the world more clearly? Join us for service in Haiti. Two huge factors explain why the median age in Haiti is only 21.4 years for this nation of 9,801,664.In 2010, an earthquake killed 316,000.HIV (AIDS) remains the major ongoing health concern.The chances of a young man in Haiti today reaching age 65 are only 34.2% versus 77.4% in the United States. While 95% of Americans can easily access the medicine they need, the figure for Haiti is 0%!A mission effort, no matter how heartfelt, isn't a free ride.
