Winter break mission opportunities in Central America are fast approaching

Winter break is just around the corner and Loma Linda University Health’s Students for International Mission Service (SIMS) has exciting trips planned to Belize and Honduras.

As a Loma Linda University Health student, staff or faculty member, you are eligible to sign up for one of these incredible opportunities that will allow you to experience service in the mission field. By participating in a LLU mission service trip, group members will be taking part in our global mission that enables participants to offer their humanitarian services and health care skillsets to communities throughout Belize and Honduras.

The deadline for these two trips is Friday, October 16 so sign up as soon as possible.  Click on the trip links below to learn more about each site and pricing. 

Belize

December 26, 2015 – January 3, 2016 

SIMS is excited to be returning to Belize, an English-speaking country that has an amazing diversity of cultures and people. This nation will leave you speechless as you experience its beauty from the Caribbean Sea shorelines, jungles and tropical rainforests, and rich Mayan culture, to the welcoming and warm Belizeans you will encounter. But there is more to this country than simply experiencing another part of the world. By being a part of a SIMS trip, students have the opportunity to partake in health fairs, health screenings, vacation Bible school activities, sharing the love of Jesus with children and families through worship and church programs, and so much more.

Pan American Health Services, Honduras

December 27, 2015 – January 3, 2016

For more than 10 years, LLU has been taking mission trips to Pan American Health Services (PAHS), a nutritional rehabilitation center for children under 5. This amazing trip allows participants to give back during the holiday season by spending time caring for, playing with, and loving the PAHS children. SIMS teams have also provided medical and dental clinics, mobile clinics to rural villages, health education programs, child therapy programs and more. To finish off the experience, students will also take part in a large Christmas and/or New Year’s fiesta.

If you would like to learn more about PAHS and see pictures of the children currently in rehabilitation, please visit their website at panamhealth.org.
