Whilst in the UK we were given a few baseball caps to hand out in Liberia. We gave one to Captain Ansu Sherman of the Liberian Immigration Service. Captain Ansu processes all the passports for crew joining and leaving the Africa Mercy, which is quite a task! His salary is around $70 US dollars A MONTH, with which he has to feed, cloth and send to school two children as well as look after his wife and himself. A bag of rice which will last them 3 weeks (using 3 cupfulls a day) now costs about $40 so I don't know how they manage. There are many many people in Liberia who earn less and for them life is a continual struggle to survive from one day to the next. How blessed we are to always have food at hand.
