"Divers..."

Thanks Charles for the picture.

One of the struggles that we have been having while in Freetown, is the amount of garbage in the water.  It seems the more it rains, the more the garbage flows into the water and surrounds the ship. 

Normally this really would not pose a problem.  However, we have intakes at the bottom of the ship that take in the ocean water to help cool the generators.  When these intakes get plugged the A/C stops in parts of the ship and can cause problems with the generators.

We have a wonderful team of dedicated divers that are going "above and beyond".  They are regularly (daily) diving into the garbage filled waters and pulling the garbage out of the intakes.

 We have amazing men and women, who are heros in our midst, because of the selfless act of diving they do on our behalf.  Because of their selfless actions, we are able to continue to serve the people of Sierra Leone through the surgeries that are performed!
