The Mercy Foundation

In continuance of our focus on Diasporan Foundations we take a look at a report on the Mercy Foundation founded by Mercy Obeime, its mission is to "Restore hope through healthcare services and education". Imnakoya reports that on a recent trip:

All the participants paid their way to and from Nigeria, and despite the inconveniences and logistic hassles associated with organizing a medical mission of this scale; the morale and spirit of the participants was high throughout and they accomplished their mission successful. The turnout was massive; the personnel which included two American high school students, worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk attending to their 100-a-day patient workload.
