Description

I will be working for 6 weeks on the African Mercy, the largest charity hospital ship in the world, in Sierra Leone, West Africa from April 14 - May 29. I know that God has some great things to teach and bless me with as I serve Him and the people of Sierra Leone.

Sounds like you have been having a wonderful experience. The photo's are great, and really tell the story of the poverty there, but the spirit of the people. Safe journey home.
