mission trip
id like to go on a mission trip to haiti.
i researched a little online, but i couldnt find any that would pay for my fare out there.
all i found were websites that said i had to pay for my own fare, room and board, etc. which would end up costing me $1500-1600.
i dont have that kind of money, but i really would like to go and help out as much as i can.
does anyone know anywhere i could possibly look into that would be a little bit cheaper?
thanks.

Every mission trip I've heard of to just about anywhere has been privately funded. Meaning, if you want to go, someone with the money has to sponsor you, or you have to raise the money yourself. Most churches try to schedule as many mission trips as possible, and raise the money for the missionaries that are planning to go.
Really... The best thing that you could do right now is donate whatever money you can afford to part with. My company chose to donate to the Red Cross... Just visit www.redcross.org. Also, if you visit the site, you'll see a link titled, 'Give & Get Involved.' While you may not be able to fly to Haiti, that doesn't mean that you can't help! Locally, volunteer organizations may need help packing medical supplies, food, and care packages for victims of the quake.
