A photo of the Trinity Dental Clinic at the ELWA Hospital in Liberia. This was built in cooperation with SIM, Dr. Keith Chapman and Mercy Ships. Dr. Keith and his family who were crew membesr on board live in Liberia and continue to provide for the Liberian people. Some of their workers are former dayvolunteers with the Africa Mercy.

Royesville School Plan done by Karen
While meeting with the Vice Principal of the school, he showed us the plans that a short term crew member made for the Central Royesville School.
Royesville School
Central Royesville School was destroyed during the Civil War – Mercy Ships came in during ’05 and ’06 and was able to help reconstruct and get the school re-opened for the children – grades 1- 6.
Losanni Tenegar
The development chairman for the Tenegar area is Losanni and so early on in our evaluation we went out to meet him to discuss when it would be possible to do the clinic evaluation and also the villages/communities evaluation related to the projects we worked on in the area – including agriculture, community health, water and sanitation.
Gebelah at Rick’s
One of the families on board is helping sponsor this young man Gebelah to attend Rick’s Institute – just outside of Monrovia, Liberia. So while I was in Liberia, I was able to visit him at school – he is doing well with his studies and we are all proud of him.
Evaluation Work Phone Calls
Serving on the evaluation team requires many phone calls trying to make appointments with the people and partners we need to meet. This is from the guest room I stayed in at the Africa Bible College Guest House at ELWA in Liberia. Thankful to have 24 hours of power and running water.
Open Bible Standard School Congo Town
One of our construction projects in 2007 in Liberia was for the Open Bible Standard School in Congo Town – we were encouraged to see many junior and senior high students attending the school. This is the well we installed that continues to provide safe, clean drinking water for them and the community.
Royesville Bridge
This is the new bridge connecting the communities of Royesville – it had been destroyed by a United Nations tank and the people only had a bamboo bridge and trust me it was scary to walk across – now they have a nice new bridge.
Royesville Visit with Joseph
Two fellow crew members helped the little boy in the photo in his papa’s arms – as he was severely malnourished – they asked if I would go by and visit him – he cried when he saw me, but later settled down – his mom is in the photo and the little girl in the distance is their newest daughter who was still in the womb when we left in 2008.
Royesville Visit with Blama
Some of the people I met on Evaluation are the same people I met when I did Assessment in Liberia. Blama is providing me with some additional names and cell phone numbers – though there is next to no phone coverage in their communities.
