Next!

Dear Friends,

After a year teaching English and working with volunteer groups for Haiti Outreach Ministries in Port au Prince, I have been home for 8 months- time filled with small travels around parts of the US, a trip to South Africa to visit and attend a wedding, lots of family time, and praying and thinking about what I should do next.  I have decided to volunteer for Marion Medical Mission, an organization that puts in shallow wells in African villages that don’t have access to clean water. They send 2 crews out for 3 weeks each during September and October to help install, dedicate and celebrate with the villagers who have just gotten clean water!

So I’m headed back to Malawi for 3 weeks in October to work with MMM. I’m also spending a week in Nkhoma to check on ‘my’ students at Ebenezer School and the hospital in Nkhoma where I lived and worked for 2 ½ years.

Once again I’m asking for your prayers…and if you would like to help with funding my trip, donations are welcome. All donations to Marion Medical Mission go into the funding of the wells and staff in Africa. All volunteers (that’s me) pay their own costs. My estimated costs are:

Flight = $1700

Food & Housing = $700

Insurance = $250

Malaria pills = $100

Total = $2750

I will be posting to my blog (travelcontinued.blogspot.com) to keep everyone updated when I can get the internet—which as we know is never a sure thing in Africa. When I return I will be glad to share more pictures and stories, and answer questions.

I greatly appreciate your support—financial or spiritual. Checks can be made out to Black Mountain Presbyterian Church (and are tax deductible) with "Jessi Stitt-MMM" in memo line and sent to either:
