The November newsletter focuses on the 2013 year, the planning of our 2014 year, and the people, partnerships and programs that are making Sea Mercy successful. Not only will Fiji be added as our newest island nation partner, but we will see the arrival of two additional vessels in 2014. 2013 was an incredible success and laid the groundwork for what we hope to accomplish in 2014.
We believe we have some of the most amazing and creative volunteers of any organization who have the hearts to always go the extra mile to meet a need. One such couple is Chris & Susan Pearmund who own a very successful winery in Virginia called Pearmund Cellars. When a volunteer says that they would like to help Sea Mercy, you never know what that means until you know who they are.
With three Floating Health Care Clinic (FHCC) vessels available in 2014, we have 31 different rotation dates for our volunteers to chose from. With medical, dental and ophthalmology care now being being offered, there are incredible opportunities for all health care related volunteers on each rotation. Click here to learn more.
It is our commitment to create, staff and operate a fleet of floating health clinics that will travel as needed to reach and meet the health needs of remote islanders in the South Pacific (Solomon, Vanuatu, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu, Northern Marianas, Palau, Cook Islands, Tonga, and Fiji).
With all the medical discoveries, technologies, teachings and staff training available, if we are unable to deliver them to 30-40% of a targeted community, can we call it a success?
