Carolina Forest Rotary member plans 10th Haiti trip

Club member Dr. Kevin Kristick (left) stands with Rotary Club of Carolina Forest-Sunrise guest speaker Brian Ling (right) at a recent club meeting.

Kristick described his upcoming (May 26-June 9) 10th Haiti mission trip to “the land the world forgot” as part of a 15-member mission team, which will treat Haitian animals and educate Haitians about animal husbandry. The burro is the most common work animal and its number one health problem is saddle sores caused by working conditions.

Kristick’s team will treat 200 animals per day, and he has seen great improvement in the reduction of saddles sores due to their educating Haitians on the proper care of these animals. Kristick and his team are self-funded, and the club made a donation toward those expenses.
