This short film was created by Beau Chevassus (videographer), Claire Ross (writer), and David Peterson (photographer) who served with Mercy Ships in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Narrated by Amara Mansaray, a patient on the ship. Awesome job!

Baby Amie

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 04:41:03 -0400

Baby Amie has been in our Infant Feeding Program since she was 2 weeks old. When she was born she weighed 3.7 pounds. We followed her in our feeding program to make sure she was gaining enough weight for surgery. She had to make it to 8.8 pounds in order to qualify and by May 30th she was 9 pounds! She had a sucessful surgery and went home with her mom a few days later.
Some days working in Africa is frustrating and discouraging but then seeing sucessful surgeries like Amie’s makes the sweat, tears and long hours worth it! http://dlvr.it/XcWYD

Kitchen at the Hope Center. Patients stay at the Hope Center when they need extra nursing care before they go home. The two pots are what they use to cook the patients meals. This photo doesn’t include the chickens and lizards that are usually running all around….

On the streets of Freetown, there is always someone out walking a goat. I’m guessing this goat is dinner.
