      Prepared for the arrival of our hospital ship, M/V Africa Mercy, that provides free care to God's beloved people living in Senegal. From Dakar, I helped recruit a total number of 255 people to serve onboard the Ship with different roles: Translators, Engine hands, Deck Hands, Maintenance Assistants, Drivers, Housekeepers, Mechanics, Welders, Cooks and few others roles. The Hope Center stands for Hospital Outpatients Extension. It's an extension for care for patients of Mercy Ships where they receive Pre and Post surgery patients. It's was a wonderful place to work to connect with families.
