About the charity:Mercy
Ships is a global charity that has operated hospital ships in
developing nations since 1978. Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to
the forgotten poor by mobilizing people and resources worldwide, and
serving all people without regard for race, gender, or religion. Our
Crew of both professional medical and non-medical volunteers have
chosen a very powerful way to share their blessings. Not everyone can
give of themselves as volunteers, but your support for our cause can
make a difference in the lives of the forgotten poor. Short-term
volunteers can participate from two weeks to a year with Mercy Ships,
while others may choose to serve in a longer capacity. The ability to
utilize professional volunteers as Crew allows Mercy Ships to maximize
our donor support and serve those who need help the most.
