 . "My CHHF experience makes me mindful of what I have … I continue to think of certain patients and experiences in the clinic, especially caring for a little girl we kept overnight in the emergency and a new mother whose baby we delivered. I was touched by all the children in the orphanage: their love, their hard work in school, and their graciousness. Being in the midst of these children was my great fortune." . Mary Jo BennettWilliamsburg, VA***** "The experience of Limon is one that gets under your skin and into your soul. It becomes a large part of who you are as a person and who you are as a Christian. Since 2003, Debe (my wife), Dr. Lloyene Reid, and I have been leading medical teams to Limon. We are thankful that the individual skills of many have been put to use for all of God's people.
We take 6000 - 8000 lbs. of clothes, shoes, and medicines on each trip, but when we return, we truly come back with much more than we took down." Jack HollingsworthFirst United Methodist ChurchPine Bluff, AR.******. “I have been lucky enough to walk in the footsteps of Julius Caesar, see Michelangelo's statue of David, visit the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa, stand atop the Great Wall of China and salute the Terra Cotta Warriors. I have enjoyed the fantastic view of the Swiss Alps and seen London's cityscape from the London Eye. None of these scenes, though, has had such an effect as seeing the isolated and poverty-stricken town of Limón, Honduras.”Jessie StarrDuke University StudentKittanning, PA

"My dream is to develop more education and resources for prevention of disease, rather than treating the same things over and over in Limon and surrounding areas. I can't imagine a year when I won't go to Honduras - I love Limon and its people. The blessings I receive are so much greater than the time and money I give." . . .
Elizabeth Warren Owosso, MI . *****  "The Carolina-Honduras Health Foundation mission trip to Limón was exceptionally well-organized. I was so impressed with how every detail was taken care of and how smoothly things went. It allowed us to really focus on providing medical care to the people there. I am grateful for the opportunity that was presented me to give to people in such need of medical help. This was an experience I’ll always remember." ..Dr. Roy BerrySpartanburg, SC.*****

"We were completely amazed at the quality of the work being done in this region of Honduras and the difference the Foundation is making in the health and well being of the people. It felt great to work as part of a team carrying on the tradition started by Dr. Gibson years ago. The team leaders were outstanding and we were able to focus on the work we came to do instead of the daily needs of transportation and food."
Anita MartinRegistered NurseKernersville, NC *****."My daughter Victoria, a Physician Assistant Student, and I joined with Dr. Gibson's team for a few days to scout out the clinic for my future trip. I will be leading a team in October 2009 and was impressed by the organization and the helpful local staff. Dr. Gibson and the other doctors took my daughter under their wings and taught her many things. She now has the mission bug and wants to return on school breaks. As a Registered Pharmacist this was a most rewarding experience and I am eagerly looking forward to leading my team in 2009." Keith Kehler, RPHLakeland, FL *****
"About 8-10 years ago I had the good fortune (? Or Devine Appointment) to go with a team of 12 folks from Alabama to the CHHF Clinic in Limón, Honduras. The experience was life changing for myself and all the other team members. The CHHF support staff in S.C. was, and still is, wonderful. The Hondurans we worked with have become friends that I see three times a year and literally talk or e-mail to weekly. Because of the leadership of CHHF Clinic, Honduras has become a part of my life. Don't go if you don't want to see what God has in mind for you... Take a chance, go for a week, and change your life."
Vaya con Dios, Dr. Tom CampAlabama.*****

"The trip to Honduras allowed me to use the skills I've been given to provide for the most appreciative people I have ever met. It was fantastic to be in an environment where what I did mattered so much to the people I served. This was the most professionally rewarding week of my life and got me back to why I love what I do - so I'm appreciative of the opportunity."
