two faces...

Last summer while working on the mercy show I was especially drawn to this image Scott took at the medical screening during the last Liberia outreach of a girl who suffered the results of a disease called noma...

Her face has stuck with me, and last week it somehow seemed right for her to go in the new Mercy Ships general brochure (which you'll see soon), but I wanted to know her name...

I emailed Scott on the Anastasis to see if he remembered her... and I found out she just happened to be onboard, in the ward. She'd come back a full year later to the next screening and made it to surgery.

This is her now... Mazay, 15 years old.

She wants to be a nurse.
