After months of preparation I am finally about to embark on a journey back to West Africa. This year I will be in the Port city of Lome in the country of Togo. Mercy Ships are already in Lome and operations are well under way. I will go onboard the Mercy Ships for four months and serve as an Operating Room nurse. In the time I have been home in New Zealand I have worked hard at the hospital in my hometown and have done many talks on Mercy Ships and fundraising. I want to take the opportunity to say Thankyou to every person who has given me words of encouragement and suppport. There are no words to express how grateful I am for this support, it has been invaluable. I am now heading back to continue living out my dreams and helping those who otherwise would not receive the healthcare that they so desperately require. You are all helping me to do this, Thankyou!
I will be in touch and keep you updated about my journey.
All my love,
Melanie
