Dona Kirkes of Haskell TX To Participate in Mission Trip

2016 May 12

Dona Kirkes of Haskell TX is one of nine McMurry University students, faculty, alumni and staff who will be traveling to Haiti for a mission trip on May 15-22.

This is the fifth time a McMurry group has gone to Haiti to work with Partners In Development, a faith-based agency that works toward "whole life transformation."

The organization provides micro loans to individuals to create sustainable income. As the recipients repay their loans, they get something done for their home as an incentive to keep paying. There is also a health clinic available for the residents. The team will have the option to do construction work or clinic work each day.
