Heart to Heart International is hosting our Disaster Response Team Workshop in Excelsior Springs, MO this March at the Lake Doniphan Conference and Retreat Center. This workshop is the final step in our volunteer vetting process. Volunteers who successfully complete this workshop will be ready to deploy to disasters around the world and bring healthcare to those impacted. We will be teaching various sessions throughout the workshop, concluding in a disaster simulation where the attendees will be tested on the information they have learned throughout the week.

In order to pull off a successful simulation, we will need 44 individuals of all ages to assist us. Simulation volunteers would be needed from 12:30 p.m.- 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 28th. Lunch will be provided. You will be responsible for transportation to and from the retreat center. This a great opportunity for our local volunteers to get a firsthand experience of what Heart to Heart Disaster Response Teams do in the field.

Volunteers will meet at Lake Doniphan, receive lunch and get briefed on the role they will playing during the simulation. Following the simulation, we will be hosting a debrief and would appreciate anyone who can stay to give feedback and observations.

We sincerely hope you can participate. Your help is critical to preparing our volunteers and ensuring that those affected by disasters receive timely and professional healthcare services.

Exact details such as location and things to bring will be emailed to volunteers closer to the event.
