The Horizon Community Church Belize Mission Trip team has been has been assembled and is ready to go. The Advance team leaves on Thursday (2/4). The rest of us will leave on Friday (2/5).
We have quite a group assembled! There are 49 volunteers grouped into 6 teams:
• the Surgical Team (17)
• the Village Medical Clinic Team (15)
• the Portable Ultrasound Team (1)
• the Construction Team (4)
• the VBS Team (7)
• the Logistics Team (5)
We have 10 doctors, 1 nurse practitioner, 11 nurses, 2 pharmacists, and other gifted and talented members. The majority of the team lives in Cincinnati, OH. But we also have participants coming from northern Ohio; Indianapolis, IN; Greensboro, NC; and even Sacramento, CA.
This is the first year with a team of one. Dr. Frappier will be training 8 doctors how to use a portable ultrasound, the first such equipment in a government hospital in Belize. This equipment will enable better diagnosis and treatment of patients who do not have the funds to go to private practices to get this type of service.
