On board the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, over 400 volunteers from over 40 nations join together to make a difference for the poor in Africa.
Each year 100+ Canadians volunteer onboard. The Africa Mercy is home to over 400 short-term and long-term crew members who offer a wide range of skills: surgeons, teachers, nurses, engineers, cooks, photographers and more. Mercy Ships would not exist without our amazing volunteers!
Irik and Cathy Mallie have served with the Africa Mercy since 2009. Irik works as the ships chief engineer for the Engineering department and Cathy is the palliative care counselor for the Palliative Care department on the ship.

"On behalf of the Liberian people, I wish to thank all the volunteers on the ship who come from all over the world for their sacrifice and the comfort they have given to so many poor and needy Liberians. Their work goes beyond compassion and healing the sick. It shows that the world is a global village, with no racial and social boundaries. The Liberian people are grateful."
