The Mission Lives on<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the passing of Martha Jane Hackett ( April 23, 1943 to March 1, 2012) and the end of Dr. Earl Hackett’s trips to Burma, those of us remaining know how they felt when Bill Hackett passed away and left the mission in Burma in their hands. Likewise, how Bill felt when his dad, Paul, died in India in 1943 after entering Burma in 1913. The Hackett Mission Legacy was incorporated to continue the work of the Hackett Family in Burma (now Myanmar) through future generations of Hacketts and the many friends and supporters of this family mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third Generation Continues…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Hackett and Jim Downing \u2013 Daughter and Husband of Dr. Earl\nHackett<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy, the oldest of Earl’s seven children, grew up hearing\nstories of her Dad’s upbringing in Burma and India. In 1999, Nancy\ntold her husband Jim \u201cIf we want to see Burma with Dad, we better\ngo soon. He’s not getting any younger.\u201d In 2000 they took that trip\nwith Earl and cousin Martha Jane. Thankfully, there were thirteen\nmore years of traveling to Burma with Earl and eleven more years of\ntraveling with Marty. That first trip was to be a once in a lifetime\ntrip \u2013 instead, they were hooked. Marty was pretty sure that the\nLord sent Nancy and Jim with her and Earl to help with the\ncontinuation of the work started by previous Hackett generations.\nWhen Marty became ill, she and Nancy worked to put together The\nHackett Mission Legacy, Inc. to ensure that end. Marty left a\ngenerous portion of her estate to help fund The Hackett Mission\nLegacy, Inc. and Nancy and Jim have already committed to doing the\nsame. Nancy and Jim continue to work on Uncle Bill’s projects in Shan\nand Kayah States. They have also added a few projects of their own,\nincluding the newest coffee growing project with the Pa-o tribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray Hackett \u2013 Oldest Son of Dr. Earl Hackett<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002, Nancy told her brother Ray \u201cYou have to go to Burma,\nand you have to go with Dad!\u201d So, in 2003, Ray accompanied Earl,\nNancy, Jim, and Martha Jane to Burma. As the case was with Nancy, he\nwas hooked. (They must have been raised right.) Ray continues to work\nwith schools, orphanages and clinics to bring electricity and\ntechnology through solar power. He also works in small villages to\nfacilitate the drilling of new water wells. Ray is a farmer at home.\nHe works with small farms in Burma to introduce solar drip irrigation\nand modern animal care. Ray would love to move to Burma and work\nthere full time, if we could raise enough money to support his\nprojects and living expenses. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
