Packing Day!

Hello!

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Brandon Bringhurst and I will be traveling with the Humanitize Expedition team to Haiti. I will be writing on this blog while we are in Haiti, to keep family and friends updated on what we were able to accomplish each day, tell any exciting stories, etc. etc.

We are less than 3 days away before the Humanitize Expedition Team heads to Haiti! The team has spent countless hours collecting supplies, preparing lesson plans, coordinating outreach clinics, and many other things that we'll be doing in Haiti. This past Saturday everyone on the team, minus some important team members that live out of state, gathered at Katie's to pack our bags. The tremendous amount of supplies that were donated was amazing. Every person packed their bag right to the 50 pound mark, even a little over, and are hoping the airline just won't notice! Below is a picture of me and my wife sorting our supplies the morning of the packing meeting (we regretfully forgot to take a picture of the group at Katie's house packing).


I know the entire team is very excited to get over to Haiti and start helping out in the clinics! If anyone has any input or suggestions of things they would like to know throughout the trip, please comment and let me know!

P.S. If anyone is not familiar with Healing Hands for Haiti, the video below explains the organization very well, or visit this their website at http://www.healinghandsforhaiti.org/.
