Dental Clinic and Hope Center

We have been given space at a local hospital for our Hope Center (outpatient care for out-of-the-area patients to stay) and our Dental Clinic. Our land-based team has worked hard to clean, paint, and repair the facilities so they will be ready to go. The Dental Clinic has already served hundreds of patients, and we have 3 post-surgery patients already settled in the Hope Center. It will hold 150 people, I believe, including care-givers.

The Africa Mercy is in Congo-Brazzaville!

After a fire drill on the dock (I took my class up to deck seven out of at-sea-drill habit!) we all gathered together for a group shot. Here we are! Here’s the team! Although, within a week another hundred plus crew members had joined us, and now over two hundred day crew from Congo have joined us as well.

We were visited by Fox Newswoman Dana Perino

Dana Perino came and visited us, and spoke to our crew in a community meeting. What an interesting woman! She then had a live talk from our café! Now that was a novelty for us. In the solo shot you can see here as she looked on the air. There is also a shot with our technical guys from IS and Communications.
