Solar Suitcase provides power in Papua New Guinea

Last September YWAM Ships provided the Emeti Health Centre in Papua New Guinea with a solar suitcase. The Emti Health Centre is the main clinic for most of the Bamu Region, and until the solar suitcase was provided to the clinic babies born at night time were delivered with only a small torch.

The solar suitcase is outfitted with solar-powered lights, battery chargers, a phone charger, headlamps, and a fetal doppler to monitor a baby's heartbeat.

YWAM Ships Australia has so far provided one of these suitcases to help strengthen the local health facilities and health workers in Papua New Guinea. They are looking at providing more of these fantastic resources to other clinics in Papua New Guinea.

Visit their web-site at ywamships.org.au to find out more.

YWAM Ship Welcomed to Marshall Islands

In April the YWAM Ship the Hawaii Aloha was officially welcomed to the Marshall Islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean. Back in March Youth With A Mission received an official invitation from the president of the Marshall Islands to serve there for 10-years. The partnership is looked at as a significant step forward for those living in remote islands in the Marshall Island chain.

Medical Vessel Visits Lib Island

For the first time in ten years a vessel with medical help has arrived in Lib Island which is in the Marshall Islands. 10 years ago the government's ship, that used to frequent their outer islands, fell into disrepair and has not returned. The first thing we were asked to help with was to provide immunizations as no one on Lib Island has been inoculated for a decade. There are around 200 people living there. Pray for us as we spend time over the following month providing much needed help to these forgotten families.
