Our first team left on Monday, January 18th and return Sunday, January 24th.  We are scheduling the second team to go the following Monday, January 25th, and plan to send consecutive teams on a weekly basis.  If you remain seriously interested, please let us know when you can go i.e.  Jan. 25, Feb. 1st, Feb. 8th... and how long you would like to stay (1 week, 2 weeks, etc.).

The first team will be flying into Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, then driving to Port-au-Prince.  Future teams will be flying into Port-au-Prince as soon as the airport is operating smoothly for commercial flights.

Housing has been procured for our teams, as well as security personnel, which we are very grateful for.  Conditions will still be rough, so prepare accordingly.  A packing list is attached.

Costs for the outreach will be $1600, which includes airfare, travel insurance, ground transport to and from Santa Domingo, food, housing and translators.  The price is subject to change, depending on airfare and ground costs.  Outreach fees can be made payable to YWAM and sent to:
