[Georgetown, Guyana]
The Logos Hope moves from port to port every two or three weeks. It's a pretty intense pace. But during a visit to Georgetown, I went with a team to work with a local church for a week. It was a real privilege to be away from the ship’s business and live among locals. As all team members are part of the drama club on board, we've taught some dramas to the youth group of church for a Christmas concert where we performed as well. We also visited schools and an orphanage.

A drama we performed at the Christmas concert, which shares the message of the Gospel.

Despite the heat and the mosquitoes, it was a refreshing experience to live one week in a house ...

[Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia]
We just finished a Sabbath week in St. Lucia. During five days, the Logos Hope was not open to the public, but we had teaching on the theme of the Tabernacle in the morning and time to rest in the afternoon. One of the highlight of the week was the Logoscars: a little short movie contest organized by the crew. For this evening, the engine guys had left their overalls in the cupboard, and everyone was in their best cloth
With a friend, I made a film about cultural diversity - "A Normal Day" - I hope to present it soon! The film has been welcomed very well, and we received five awards! (Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Film)

In two weeks, the Logos Hope will visit Barbados. Ruben has just finished a TV advertisement which is broadcast in the island. I share it with you, and I hope that its local flavour will warm up the cold autumn.

[Scarborough, Tobago]

PST Scarborough - here they come! As each semester the crew changeover is a unique and festive event. And this year they were 96 to join the Pre Ship Training (PST) from Scarborough on the island of Tobago.

Among them, two French ... the community grows a little. All these volunteers are joining the Logos Hope for two years. They will first go through a training to prepare them for the ministry of the ship and safety at sea, then they will join their work department.

As for the IT team, this means a lot of laptop to check!!
