Mission of Healing trip to El Salvador: February 11-18, 2023

Application/Deposit Deadline: November 18, 2023 

Travel on Saturday, visit sister churches on Sunday, help the Salvadoran Lutheran Church with their traveling health fair, setting up at a different spot each day Monday-Thursday, play on Friday, travel home on Saturday.

The offerings at the health fair always vary based on what our group can offer, but usually a combination of basic wellness checks, health education on topics like nutrition, reproductive health, mental health, oral health, and activities for kids. The Salvadorans have asked if we can do extra emphasis on mental health this year.  

Skills needed: anyone can apply, but there are the skills/backgrounds we could most use this year:

• Behavioral/mental health training

• Nurses

• Medical providers (advanced practice professionals, PAs, physicians) 

• Pharmacy

• Art

• Kids/education

• Yoga/relaxation/expressive arts

• We also always need 3-4 “willing to do anything” worker bee types. 

• No spanish needed (though its always a plus). 

Application available BELOW, or speak with Cindy Dostal and/or Pastor Kevin
