On January 11, 2014, Cyclone "Ian" with 178 mph winds slammed into Tonga's most vulnerable and unprotected island group of Ha'apai which consists of 23 inhabited remote islands and 8,000 citizens. Ian is the most powerful storm to hit Tonga in decades and authorities are trying to reach their remote islands to better determine the needs. Sea Mercy has two vessels in Fiji preparing to assist.
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.
Our "Team Building" program allows you to build your own Medical Missions dream team. Increase your fun, strengthen your current inner and outer office relationships, and reduce individual costs. How much more fun could it get than to volunteer in the South Pacific with your friends and co-workers!
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).
On Friday, March 14th, at 7:00pm, the SLS Mass Choir, Artmore Vaikeli, Ana Tafisi, One Voice and Pioneer Young Women's Choir will be providing an evening of inspiration and encouragement to help raise the funds needed for Sea Mercy to help deliver the emergency food, water, shelter and medical care desperately needed for Tonga following the destruction of the Force 5 Cyclone named Ian, which tore through the most vulnerable center island group of Ha'apai.

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?
