Looking to do some charity/mission work.....

I'm looking to do some mission work here soon, (perhaps my spring break) and I want to travel to perhaps Haiti another such country. I am an Eagle Scout and a youth minister, so mission work is not a new experience. I have traveled a lot for only being 20, particularly in the Caribbean. I can make myself understood in Spanish, I can comprehend French to a degree, and I have a keen interest in Creole.

Has anyone done any such work before? What can I expect? What vaccinations do I need to get?
Does anyone know of a reputable company I can work through? I was thinking Lutheran World Relief?

I'd recommend speaking with a local Bible College or Seminary. They do these things all the time (most of them require mission work each year as part of credit) and would be able to give you an enormous list of opportunities, as well as information on costs associated with it and things needed to do in preparation.

This post is helpful, relevant, and informative. Are you sure you're feeling alright, Kwilk?
