McMurry Student Jack Payne Completes Mission Trip to Haiti

2015 Nov 10

Jack Payne of Walnut Springs recently completed a mission trip to Haiti.

For the past five summers, McMurry has worked with an organization called Partners In Development (PID). The majority of people in Haiti live on less than $2 a day.

PID offers a continuum of empowerment services for people in Haiti, Guatemala, and Mississippi. Services include support to keep kids in school, micro-loans for small businesses, medical care, and housing assistance through construction and no-interest loans. Depending on interest and ability, McMurry participants generally work at construction sites or in the clinic. We believe that short-term mission trips are best accomplished when partnering with organizations like PID that provide long-term, sustainable services in the region that is served.
