We, or shall I say mostly Nigel, has had a sudden surge in news coverage from our Liberia experience. He was contacted by Mercy Ships and asked if he was interested in taking part in publicity. He said yes, a written document was sent to him to check over and suddenly there are articles quoting him mysteriously saying very distinct Mercy Ship marketing lines. C'est la vie et c'est les médias!
We did have an interview with one reporter directly, The Yorkshire Post's Martin Slack entitled, "Honeymooning Couple's African Mercy Mission".
The very next day The Sun came out with an almost word for word article and the same picture (above) entitled, "Couple Spend Honeymoon Helping Others" and suddenly we were now in Africa on our honeymoon instead of our first year of marriage.
Other stories about Nigel's medical experiences:
"Couple Spend Honeymoon Helping Others" (The Sheffield Telegraph)
"Hope on the Horizon" (Mercy Ships)
"Hospital Volunteer Recognized for Work" (ISSUU)
"Hospital Ship Celebrate Success in Liberia on International Volunteer Day" (IMPA)
"Mercy Ships celebrates success in Liberia" (Christian Today)
And Nigel's worm episode in surgery that he had published as a letter in Anaesthesia News: "More Than Just Secretions"

Great to hear that Mercy Ships is getting more media coverage. It sounds like they're doing a lot of good work.
How do you like being the "Canadian artist wife"?
Yes, I certainly do take a back seat to Nigel in the interviews. But that is okay, he takes a back seat to me at my exhibitions. It was a hospital ship after all and one of his dreams along with Doctors Without Borders.
