I Spent 6 Days Living On The Worlds Largest Hospital Ship

Video Description

I had no idea what to expect as I walked up the gangway of the Global Mercy, a floating hospital ship docked in Sierra Leone. I’ve spent a lot of time on ships in the past, but this experience was completely different from anything I’d ever imagined. I’d travelled 5000 miles to board the ship and we arrived in the middle of the night, I was so excited but really nervous too. ** Thank you SO much for watching this video, it's definitely the most tricky video I've ever made, but the most important too.

Pretty please press the 'Donate' button next to this video, all money is collected by Mercy Ships directly and it'll make a world of difference. The money goes so SO far. 🚢⚓ I'd also like to thank everybody who I met onboard who were so welcoming and friendly. It blows my mind that there are such good people in the world that give up months or years of their life to volunteer onboard. I'll never ever forget this trip! 😁⚓ Read this far down? Wow, you are the best. Comment the word JENGA below so I know! 😂😂 ** NOTE: Global Mercy is the largest civilian hospital ship in the world but there are military hospital ships, such as those operated by the U.S. Navy which are larger in size. I knew that the Global Mercy was a ship run entirely by volunteers who live onboard and provide free surgeries to those who need it but I had no idea how that could work in reality. I had so many questions in my mind, What was it like to live onboard? What kind of care did the ship provide and why here, in Sierra Leone? I had no idea who I’d meet, where I’d stay, what I’d be eating. I didn’t know anything really and I’m glad I went into this without knowing too much. I spent the last 6 days onboard finding out the answers to these questions and nothing could have prepared me for the reality I’d find. For the last couple of years we’ve been fundraising on this channel for the charity Mercy Ships by selling toys of our mascot Captain Hudson, it started as a small project but to date we’ve raised over £100,000 this way. ▶ FREE COURSE.
