VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR TEAM TO HONDURAS


4 team members slots available for a VIM work trip to Honduras.
The dates of the trip are June 5 through June 13, 2010. The trip will be to La Ceibita, a small town in the northern part of the country.


The work activities will be a vision clinic plus performing several health related activities (glucose screening, blood pressure screening and dental health care training). If we have individuals that would prefer to work in construction, put on a Bible School, teach sewing or any other activity we can accommodate most other desires to help the people there.


This mission trip will cost a 'fully tax deductible' $1,200; this covers all expenses including airfare from Knoxville, TN. For more information contact Bob Schultz, First United Methodist Church Oak Ridge, at maxbob@peoplepc.com or call at 865-482-0080.
