I volunteer with a Christian Medical Global Charity that operated hospital ships that serve the worlds poor. I lived onboard the Africa Mercy for 5 years serving as a teacher and then Principal of the on board school. Now I am serving in Texas at the International Operational Centre, helping develop the school further so that we can provide an exceptional biblical based quality holistic education to the families who serve the people of West Africa.

15th of April - Marking our mark in Benin!




A group of us South African in front of the New South African Embassy on Wednesday the 15th of April after we proudly made our mark and voted. This was a proud moment as we were the first South African to vote in Benin. The SA Embassy staff have been a great support to us on the ship and they are very proud of what we are doing. A few weeks ago they came for a braai on board and next week we have been invited to the Embassy for Freedom Day Celebration on the 26th of April.



I even have the thumb to prove it. I was surprised to hear that no other countries 'mark' their voters. People think i have hurt my thumb, and when i tell they why they are very interested to find out. Even though it does not look very pretty - i wear it proudly!
