The people in Honduras, do not have much in the form of medical treatment…they have nothing in the mountains. In a social humanitarian project, a university from Holland has constructed a clinic in the community, but there are no doctors, nurses, dentists, equipment, or supplies for this establishment. The community has asked if we could put together a team from the medical society to help them out. They would like doctors, nurses, optometrists and dentists to come in and exam their people, to teach on health subjects such as hygiene, and to help the people understand what it means to have a better quality of life in respect to health related issues.
This is a no thrills trip. We will be in the 'mission field'. It means that we will be with the people and among the people. Note, we will not be staying in hotels or eating at fancy restaurants. It means that you may be sleeping in a sleeping bag on a cot or a mat on the floor. There will be showers, but there may not be hot water. Occurring in conjunction with the medical mission work will be conducting some simple work projects, building community relations, cooking for the crews, and children’s outreach.
If you should happen to be a “directionally challenged” person, I have some good news for you about Moloka’i. It’s nearly impossible to get lost. The island in only 260 square miles and is known as, “the friendly island”. There are only 8,000 people who live there, so if you get separated from the team, there will bound to be someone who knows somebody who has some idea of where everybody went…and how to get there. The average high temperature in February is 77 and the average low is 63. However, be sure to bring an umbrella because it rains a lot. The average rainfall for February comes to about three inches. But the people have a great sense of humor and the scenery is beautiful. You will find yourself wanting to take many pictures.
