Medical Mission 2012

Our mission dates are set this year for April 18-28. Again we hope to see about 1700 people in the 4 days of the actual medical mission, April 23-26!  We will also teach the local parish leaders to give  a simple class in healthy practices.  We will provide a hygiene kit for each person who attends as well as two months of vitamins. Our team will stay at the parish house with the new pastor, Fr. Ernest Angrand. We met Fr. Ernest on our December 2011 visit to Dilaire. He was a wonderful host and is eager to continue our sister relationship.
