Haiti Partnership
The Haiti Partnership is a group of Methodist volunteer missionaries from the New York and Pennsylvania region. Originally founded in 1995, the partnership has conducted numerous missions in remote Haitian villages and towns, including: Bainet, Hermitage, Bois Neuf Malor, Jeremie and others. A mission consists of up to fourteen volunteers traveling by plane to Port au Prince making a brief stop at a VIM (Volunteer in Mission) guest house. A typical team travels with up to twenty- two or more containers; of which contain tools, food, toys, and hygiene equipment. Teams travel with the containers by vehicle to remote sites after their brief stay at the guest house. Most teams work on construction projects with Haitian workers to construct schools, churches, and other necessities in the most needing areas of Haiti. After a "typical" nine- day "round- trip" stay, teams travel back to the United States. Normally teams travel in the months of January, February, and March. The funds of the "great fifty days," a fund raising event held annually, help fund the missions.
