Saying Goodbye

With over 1000 volunteers coming and going each year, saying goodbye to people is part of life on Mercy Ships.  Hopefully it is "until we meet again."
When people leave, friends gather on the dock as the Land Rovers are packed up.  It's an important time.

Packing up the Land Rovers 

Sometimes there are some musical send offs such as the ukulele band.

But mostly it's time to express appreciation and gratitude for friendship and for sharing life together in this wonderful community committed to "bringing Hope and Healing to the Worlds Forgotten Poor."
