Sarah Strickland shared with a magazine in her hometown how she used her skills as a nurse to make a difference in Madagascar by volunteering with Mercy Ships.

Our hospital ship, Africa Mercy, carries over 400 crew members from 40 different countries. They include surgeons, nurses, engineers, receptionists, mechanics, teachers, cooks, and many more.
