Norm proposed a toast to the Rotary Club of somewhere that sounded like “Ullawakka” (note to self - check later) in Manilla. Congratulations on achieving their eighth Changeover. They are involved in the fight against corruption, greed and self interest. Year, well our Sergeant’s a bit out there too. Sorry, it was actually Bawwalk in Manilla.

Most of there medical staff and crew are volunteers - they even give blood give blood
An exception is the security force of Gurkhas.
They face diseases like the plague, and do ROMAC style operations on cleft lips & tumors
There is hope for a new ship and Alan mention some very large donations.
They have featured on 60 Minutes and an ABC page about them reached 3m people.
Their patients are returned to the villages, no longer “cursed”

Questions - Gery asked about staff. Scheduling is complex, and they have dedicated scheduling volunteers.
Stuart asked how long was spent on the ship. It ranges from 3 months to 27 years - there is a school on board. Mercy Ships have been running for 37 years.
Which countries support? US, UK and Australia in that order.
Reality TV show coming up.
