ASAM, Mozambique - October 2019

This last week Mercy Air was back up in Mozambique with a team for a few days.

The team about to board

Taking off from Mercy Air

On the descent into Beira we flew over Buzi, where we had spent much time earlier in the year when we helped with the cyclone relief efforts.

Looking a lot better now than in March/April

At ASAM it was a game of aeroplane Tetris getting a helicopter, a Cessna 182 and our Kodiak into the hangar.

Not much room to swing a prop!

Each day we attended the familiar morning meeting.

We flew Nigel and his wife Erin from Mercy Air, who were preparing to help with an intensive pastor training the following week.

Should be fun!

Also on board were Jeremy and Janet Boddington who are with Mercy Air for three months with a view to stay longer. He also took Allan Luus (CEO of Mercy Air) and Anton, an engineer from South Africa, who looked at options for installing new electric and water services to help with longer term strategic planning for the mission.

The day of departure

It was a good few days except for the fact that four of the ASAM staff came down with malaria!

Thank you
