haiti mission
Dr. Hook has participated in an annual medical mission trip to Haiti every January. Thru the years he has performed hundreds of exams in clinics in several different areas of Haiti, dispensing donated prescription glasses, over-the-counter reading glasses, and providing other eye care services as needed. It is such a blessing to see the immediate gratification on the faces of these people as they realize the clarity of vision they can experience.
Children are able to see in their classrooms for the first time, older women of the community able to see to thread their needles again, and men of the village able to read their Bibles again for the first time in years or even decades. |
Unfortunately, the political unrest there has caused the US State Department to place Haiti on the "do not travel" list and the annual trips have been put on hold. While Dr. Hook and his team cannot travel there in person, he still helps by serving on the board of directors for Just Have Faith International, an organization formed by his team to continue to support Haiti in ways other than the "boots on the ground" mission trips.
YOU CAN HELP AS WELL
Dr. Hook would like to offer, as a "Thank You" for your support of Just Have Faith International, a dozen of his homemade chocolate chip cookies that he regularly bakes for his patients when they receive their new glasses. If you would like to visit the JHFI website and make a donation of $100 or more, notify him of your donation and be on the lookout for some fresh baked cookies.
