Mission Opportunities

Morocco teams: April 27th - May 18th 2008

For the fourth consecutive year men and women from the Presbytery will help in the reconstuction of homes destroyed by earthquake. We link up with Gateway Medical Alliance to do this work. The news homes, which are "earthquake proof", are simple 10mx5m flat-roofed constructions, plastered inside and out. A septic tank is dug. So the skills required are mainly bricklaying, plastering and some joinery. There is also a need for those willing to labour. Volunteers can go for one, two or three weeks.

Beirut team: May 2 -12 2008

The congregation of 1st Broughshane is organising a work team to link up with Alastair Dickey in Beirut. The team with refurbish the orphanage where gardening, painting and minor repairs will be the main tasks. Rev William Dickey will lead the team.

Peru team: July 2008

We are partnering with Latin Link in this 4 week long "STEP" team to Peru. Anyone aged 18+ are invited to participate in this project which will rebuild homes destroyed by the earthquake in summer 2007. As well as the need for practical skills associated with building work, there will be opportunity for a wide range of service.

India team: October 2008

This will be the fourth work team from the Presbytery to link up with ASHA, working in the slums in Delhi. The task, over 2 weeks, will be to upgrade the area around a clinic building in one of the slums. The job will primarily involve paving, though a wide range of practical work will be undertaken.
