(CBS/AP) Despite being widely reported on Dec. 9, Sarah Palin's next trip abroad won't be England or Israel after all.

A Palin staffer confirmed the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential nominee would travel to Haiti with the Rev. Franklin Graham as part of the outreach of his Samaritan's Purse relief organization.

Graham heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, founded by his father, Billy Graham.

One of her stops? A cholera clinic, among others, says Palin staffer Rebecca Mansour. She says Palin's husband, Todd, will join her and she believes daughter Bristol will, as well.

A cholera outbreak has killed more than 2,000 people in Haiti.
