We held our regular Civic Reception, this normally occurs within the first couple weeks of the ship’s arrival in a country. My friends Jean, Brenda and I are seating with Mr. Pewu Subah who is with the Monrovia Rotary Club. Rotary has been our partners many times over the years including a recent grant we received for computer equipment and 5 vehicles for the Africa Mercy.

This morning we had the great privilege of hosting some of the civic leaders of Monrovia, Liberia on board the m/v Anastasis. The group I am sharing with in the photo include some Liberians who are in the House of Representatives, in particular with the Health issues of the country. The Honorable Edwin Gaye shared some remarks following the speech by our Executive Director.
