Canadians wishing to serve in the U.S. must book at least 3 weeks prior to their service term to allow time for border entry paperwork to be completed. Unfortunately, at this time Canadian border-crossing restrictions prohibit U.S. volunteers from serving with MDS in Canada.
Description: Flood events in West Virginia have increased over the past 10 years washing out hundreds of private stream crossings (bridges) across the state. Homeowners who cross streams to get to their homes are either driving through the stream bed or parking on the other side of the stream and walking across a temporary walkway. Because these are private structures, the government cannot help directly, so the only potential assistance is voluntary organizations like MDS. Since 2015 MDS has built nearly 150 private bridges with many more to go.
