The latest statement from the M/V Pacific Hope "red shirts" is ...

We are looking for construction and general volunteers to help us rebuild the beloved Bahamian islands, recently devastated by Hurricane Dorian. MV Pacific Hope is a 182ft vessel providing construction, medical, and education to places hit by natural disasters. Our first phase was medical, to make sure that the health on the islands are stable with no life-threatening injuries. Now we are in our second phase, rebuilding.

Pacific Hope is one of the first medical ships into the Bahamas after the devastating Hurricane Dorian hit in early September. We secured one of the first MOU agreements with the government, secured multiple warehouses and distribution sites with the amazing help of Rotary on Grand Bahama Island, and have been physically handing goods straight to people in need, driving to the places hit hardest with our ATVs, setting up medical stations and sending doctors out to Grand Cay to help with life-threatening situations, transporting water and supplies throughout the islands, repairing restaurants for people to eat warm meals again, and so much more. We do not leave shortly after, we stay to help rebuild, all to demonstrate the love of Christ. We need your help!

Your help and volunteer efforts with allow us all to work together to help rebuild these islands that were so damaged and destroyed and help these families and communities to get back to a normal life. They need safe and secure structures, hot food, water and medical centers, schools and supplies.

We are looking for general volunteers, volunteers with any construction background or experience, dock repair and builders, captains and crew who can drive center consoles and help deliver supplies, debris removal – these areas have so much to repair and rebuild – any and all aide is needed and appreciated!

We need volunteers starting end of this week - you can come from 1 to multiple weeks depending on your availability. All lodging, meals and water are provided, just need to have a valid passport.

For more information you can email them at [email protected] or visit their webpage at www.mvpacifichope.org.

If you can’t volunteer at this time, you can also help by donating at their GoFundMe page.
