Cargo day ball event Dinner tables

On the 18th of May, Mercy Ships celebrated its first Cargo Day Ball at Domaine de Penthes, Geneva. The goal was to thank all the donors who participated in the Cargo Day 2016 campaign.

164 guests were present for this special evening.

Program

We had the privilege of having Roland Decorvet, former MD Africa Mercy, now Philafrica Foods Chief Executive, and Per Westling, CEO Stena RoRo speaking. As well, thanks to a live skype call with Captain John Borrow from the Africa Mercy on location in the Port of Cotonou, we had an update on what was accomplished in the last Benin field service.
