We are returning to the Mercy Ship for an eye mission off the coast of Senegal. We will be working with 3 Senegal doctors to help restore the lost vision of those blinded by cataracts. We are looking forward to this trip since being restricted from travel for over a year. Your prayers are requested to make this a successful trip.
🇸🇳 🇸🇳🇸🇳❤️🧡❤️ Mercy Ships Eye Surgical Mission Trip, Dakar, Senegal, Africa 👏👏👏🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳
After 2 days flying from Florida to Charlotte to London, then Madrid then finally arriving to Dakar, Senegal, Africa, we boarded the Africa Mercy Ship at Midnight.
We have to wash our hands thoroughly before boarding the medical ship.
We completed our on boarding paperwork.
A cold dinner plate awaits each of us with our names written on the plastic cover.
Our cozy cabin sleeps two for a couple. Very nice, clean and comfortable. A nice touch is our cabin is one flight of stairs above the operating room so Dr Kondrot can just walk down the stairs in be in the OR every morning at 7 AM.
Our cabin door has our picture and names and all kinds of welcoming notes and other doctors and teams wanting to meet with us tomorrow to go over the surgical schedule for next week.
We will be busy!
We feel right at home. This is our second year returning on this wonderful medical ship, the biggest non governmental medical ship in the world.
We are tired, sleepy, hungry but very happy to be back and we know many people will be very happy to have their eyes operated on next week.
We are so honored to serve on the Mercy ships. It is an experience of a lifetime and we are so happy to be invited back every year to serve at a different country in Africa!
🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳🧡❤️💚👍👍👍👀👀
The work continue steady. After one week on the Mercy ship in Africa, Dr. Kondrot is happy with the patients outcome. Before sending them home they are checked for one last post op check up and most of them also receive a yag laser session to clear out all scar tissue so they can have clear vision. We have one more week of work then we will head home right around Easter to celebrate with the family!
Happy for many blind patients regaining their sight and now have a new life again!

The Eye Surgical Team supporting Dr Kondrot gathers in the morning in the hallway in front of the operating room and prays together as a team for blessings for a successful surgical day.
Praying for a good day for the surgeon to bring eye sight back to the poor blind who are coming for help. Praying that there is no complication in surgery.
Praying for a good day for the hard working team who are on their feet all day to take care of the patients and make sure the instruments are sterilized, that the supplies are ready for the surgeries and that the patients are properly taken cared of.
Praying for the patients who are coming in to have good result, to see again, to regain their independence and go back to their lives and be productive again to take care of themselves and their families.
May God Bless the whole team and the patients
