Mission Haiti

Hi friends...
I am extremely excited to tell you about something! 
I was presented the opportunity to go on a mission trip as the designated photographer for Mission Haiti! Crazy right? I know. The other crazy thing is I leave in about a week!
I will be photographing the first ever Haitian triathlon, documenting every-day life and visiting schools to photograph children that need sponsors, just to name a few projects. 
If you want to know more about the Mission Haiti group, feel free to visit the website at www.mission-haiti.org. I pray that I personally, and our group, will be a real blessing to the people there and you can be a part. 

First, I ask for your prayers for the safety of our group and God's guidance on this trip. Also pray for the spiritual preparation of the people we will meet. I am so grateful to use my gifts in this great way, and I want to be used in an impacting way. 

Second, I ask for any donations of items that are needed both for this trip and for the orphanage. Listed below are the items needed:

1.Food: oatmeal, malt-o-meal, pancake mix, syrup, peanut butter, jelly, canned meat, soup, mac-n-cheese, ramen noodles, tea, boxes rice mixes, snack crackers, etc.
2.Baby formula
3.Adult and children's vitamins
4.Backpacks
5.Tools: wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measures, hammer, level, saws

Third, you may give financially -- Mission Haiti is run by volunteers. 100% of your donation will go directly to where you specify. Listed below are areas of need:

1.Sponsor me specifically to go on this trip. Any amount is a huge blessing! The cost of this trip is $700. Please write my name (Kelli Hunt) in the memo.
2.Pay to purchase Bibles ($7 each for paperback, $20 for talking Bible)
3.Pay for supplies needed from the list above
4.Sponsor a child to go to school in the Fall 

Mission Haiti is a 501c(3) non-profit organization; your gift is tax-deductible. Please make checks payable to Mission Haiti and mail them directly to me at:

Blessings,

  1. Wow - what a fantastic opportunity. I have no doubts that you'll change lives over in Haiti. They must have known that you're the best person to document people in their natural space. I look forward to seeing your photography from the trip. How long will you be there?
