Mission of Healing trip to El Salvador: February 15-22, 2025
Application/Deposit Deadline: November 16, 2024
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.

Behavioral/mental health training
Nurses
Medical providers (advanced practice professionals, PAs, physicians)

We also always need 3-4 “willing to do anything” worker bee types.
No Spanish needed (though its always a plus).
