Tim will be going back to Haiti by himself on April 11-19. He's going on a surgery trip with Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. Here's Wikipedia's description of this group:
"The Northwest Haiti Christian Mission was established in 1978 after a group of missionaries traveled there and witnessed the physical and psychological suffering of under-privileged Haitians. The mission’s headquarters is located in Frankfort, Kentucky.
The mission is located in the city of Saint-Louis du Nord in Nord-Ouest, Haiti there are six churches on the mission property, the "Tender Lambs Birthing Center", a surgical unit, a burns unit, a Physical therapy/Occupational therapy (PT/OT) center, a center for premature babies, six schools, an elderly feeding program, feeding the thousand program, and a nutritional program that provides food for malnourished children and nutritional training for their mothers.
The campus also serves as a home to American work groups, which make many trips each year to Haiti. From there, they travel to various mission projects along the coast or in the mountains. The mission employs preachers and school teachers who live in Haiti.
The mission also has an orphanage in Port-de-Paix, 8 miles (12.8km) away from Saint-Louis du Nord. It was founded in 1979 because of a recent, and severe, drought, which killed many people and left many children without guardians."

We found out about Northwest Haiti because a group of folks going down on a short term trip were on the plane with us on our first trip back in October. We'd been hoping the whole family would be able to go, but due to Little League conflicts and also the high cost of travel for six of us, we decided to just send Tim this time. He is, after all, the one who would be doing surgery! Hopefully, we'll all go as a family next October.
Don't know if anyone ever goes to this blog anymore, as I haven't posted in 3 months, but if anyone is reading, please pray for my sweet husband's safety while he's gone! We'd be lost without him!
