Gainesville mission group headed to Haiti



By Ken Stanford Editor
GAINESVILLE - A mission group in Gainesville is sending a medical and search-and-rescue team to Haiti later this week.

Drs. Richard and Brenda Kowalske of Helping Hands Foreign Missions plan to leave Friday with a group of five people. Several more plan to leave a few days later.

The Kowalskes are appealing for financial donations and medical supplies -- mainly first aid items such as gauze, large Band Aids, surgical tape, antibiotic ointment, burn cream, alcohol and iodine pads. Also, Tylenol , ibuprofen, and over-the-counter cough and cold medicines.
