Preamble

We are a family of three; Andrew, Jodie and Jessica (aged 18) from Tasmania, Australia who are currently serving in Douala, Cameroon, Central Africa on the M/V Africa Mercy, the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, through Mercy Ships International. God has called us on a journey that has been many years in the making. For this season we call Africa home, as we seek to bring hope and healing to the poorest of the poor.

Graduation-Jessica this time!


In June we celebrated alongside the Class of 2010-2011 at the Mercy Academy's End of Year Celebration. The children entered the International Lounge by class all dressed up, to the strains of U2's "It's a Beautiful Day".

The Elementary School Choir sang beautifully as did the pre-school class. They were very cute!

Every class teacher presented their students with a certificate with a bible verse and a character trait that they thought matched the student. Jessica received the trait of "Helpfulness". Her bible verse was 1 John 3:18 "Dear Children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth". Above are Jessica's 4th/5th grade class with teacher Miss Danae. 

The girls-Jessica, Anna, Fride, Kylie.  Anna and Fride have since left the ship with their families. It was a sad loss to the Academy and the ship as they paid tribute to, and farewelled many teachers and three long term families admidst the celebrations of the morning.
But the good news is that Jess has finally made it to grade 6!!
