This year there were about 200 Togolese Day Workers worked on the
ship. Many of them are students, Pastors, medical persons,
seamstresses, cooks, shop keeps and some are unemployed. Several of them
have worked on the Africa Mercy in Benin, Sierra Leone, and now twice in Togo. What Mercy Ships does is impossible without their partnership. They
help translate many of the local languages in the hospital areas
(some of them speaking 5 or 6 languages), clean the ship, do laundry,
cook in the galley, work on the decks of the ship painting and chipping
paint. They explain the culture and customs of West Africa. They
extend copious amounts of grace when crew blunder through some of the
customs, culture, and language. Wednesday we said "Good-bye". Thank you, Day Workers, for all you've done!
