Advocate Slot - HoverAid
19 Aug 2021
Please give thanks and pray for:
• Successful Medical Safaris that are now building up again following Covid restrictions, and the new ultrasound machine that is such an integral part of them.
• The rebuilding of schools, that has become a recognised part of HoverAid’s work.
• The hovercraft fleet; the old vehicles that are prone to breaking down and the efforts to replace them with an updated design that Andy Mayo has produced and for which manufacturing capability and funding is now being sought.
• The cooperation between the different international arms of HoverAid and their good governance.
• The health and safety of staff and volunteers in the UK, The Netherlands, France, and Madagascar as the fight against Covid continues.
• The ongoing severe drought in southern Madagascar.
