When a small lump on his face grew into a large tumor, Auguste lost his job as an elementary school teacher and headmaster.

Six years later, after a free surgery on the #GlobalMercy, he returned to his school for the first time, tumor free. After all he’s been through, his passion is still to impact the next generation.

“It’s through a child that you can create things that will be beneficial for a country and the whole world,” Auguste said.

Take a look at Auguste’s inspiring journey today!

Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class healthcare services, capacity building, and sustainable development to those with little access in sub-Saharan Africa. Founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 55 developing countries, providing services valued at more than $1.74 billion and treating more than 2.84 million direct beneficiaries. Our ships are crewed by volunteers from over 60 nations, with an average of over 1,200 volunteers each year. Professionals including surgeons, dentists, nurses, healthcare trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers, and agriculturalists donate their time and skills. With 16 national offices and our Africa Bureau, Mercy Ships seeks to transform individuals and serve nations.
