Mercy Trucks West Africa Project

Roy left Hexham on the 9th of January 2008. He then left Harpenden after packing the truck with equipment in the late afternoon of Thursday 10th. On this and further pages we will be publishing his accounts of his journey to Guinea-Bissau.

To Sunday 27th

The last few days have been a bit frustrating for Roy. Succeeding events have held back his departure from Spain. After collecting the childrens' toys, Roy had to spend a few days resting to recover from a chest infection. But he was blessed in this time by people who helped him with some work on the truck - welding and replacing tyres - but who refused to be paid for their work.
He was also given some surplus office and school equipment in Gibraltar from an army base by people he met completely by chance.
He hopes to be in Tangiers on Monday, so please thank God for all the blessings Roy has experienced despite being delayed this week and pray that paperwork at ports does not delay him any more.

If you would like more information about the Guinea Bissau project and/or Mercy Trucks' other projects, please email info-uk@mercytrucks.org or phone 0870 126 9120.

Please consider partnering with us in this exciting project by sponsorship. A total of £1.00 per mile is needed to cover the costs for the 4,600 mile journey. If more funds are raised, this will help towards setting up the medical logistics project in West Africa.
