Full Description:
This trip is open to everyone! We are forming a team to visit our partner coffee farms in the mountains, visiting orphan homes and schools funded by the farms, and lending our help wherever needed to help rebuild, plant, or hold babies. Your team member fee includes RT airfare from a US hub airport near you. If you are outside of North America, contact us for your air travel or secure it on your own. Team member fee also includes hotel and host lodging, meals, ground transportation, and materials related to the projects. Our ministry partners, More Than Coffee, are inviting you to see what it's truly like to work a coffee farm in the rural, high altitude mountains of Haiti. You'll visit a coffee farm or two that not only provide a "fair" income for those who work there, but it also provides for the needs of several orphan homes, schools, and nearby churches. Some hiking is involved and exposure to rural, hard terrain is possible. But if you can manage to go, the trip will give you a full perspective and change your life!
