A great turn out of members, partners and guests went aboard the MV YWAM KOHA hosted by the Youth With A Mission organisation.We were given a full tour of the ship plus informed of the work they do and then provided with lunch.
We learnt the cost of running the ship for 12 months was over $600,000 NZD and all of this was raised through gift and donations – one anonymous donor giving $50,000 NZD last week.
They provide essential medical services up in the Pacific Islands. Go here for a close up look at what they do https://www.ywamshipsaotearoa.org.nz/
This strong and versatile New Zealand-based vessel is uniquely designed to carry both people and cargo to remote island communities.
Custom-built shipping containers, on the ship’s deck, can serve as dental, medical, surgical, pharmaceutical, or classroom facilities.
Koha is a Māori word for “gift”. The ship was given as a gift to Youth With A Mission and is now preparing to bring the gift of practical hope and healing to the Pacific islands.
