"Mom" Workman

This is our third visit to this orphange since the eartquake disaster there in 2010. The CHO orphanage was founded over 30 years ago by Eleanor Workman (See Photo above)  and has been in continuous service since. Each time we go here the people continue to grow both spirtually and physically. You can be a part of this work. Join us this year.

Here is what you will be doing.

  • Using local translators who speak French or Creole, part of the team will register patients and record simple patient histories on patient routing slips for later diagnosis by a team medical staff member. 
  • Other members of the team maywork with local translators in triage where blood pressure, pulse, glucose test results and other vital signs will be recorded along with further patient history.
  • Some will be in the exam rooms with local translators where the MDs will make their diagnosis and record the recommended medical prophylaxis for the patient.
  • At least one person will be testing vision for reading glasses
  • Several people will work in the pharmacy where the prescribed medicines will be prepared and packaged along with instructions to the patients for when and how to take their prescriptions.
  • Giving people the gift of free medical care is secondary to introducing them to Christ. Everyone will have the opportunity to witness the love of Jesus Christ and share their testimony.

     Care Providers Needed: MDs, PAs, NPs, RNs, Pharmacists, and other health care related personnel. In addition medical students and non-medical personnel with a heart for the people of  Haiti are needed as support members of the team.

     Donations Needed for Medical & Vision Supplies: 
    To contribute toward the $3,000 needed for medical and vision supplies for this project,
    please contact the office (805) 434-3653
    or donate online today.

    Logistics:The team will fly commercially and will converge at  Miami before transferring to Port-Au-Prince . Our team is limited to 16 people, all of who will stay in a dormitory setting at the Orphanage- four people to a room. The clinics will be held at the orphanage for the orphans and adults in the surrounding area of Mariani, Meals will be provided along with safe drinking water.

    All participants are encouraged to solicit support from friends, family members, and congregations. This is an ideal way for those who have a heart for your ministry to participate along with prayer. All fees paid directly though HHH for the project are tax deductible. We can provide information that will facilitate your raising funds.
