Members of Youth with a Mission (YWAM) New Zealand are working tirelessly to raise funds for their medical aid ship YWAM Koha, currently stranded in Fiji. Managing director Marty Emmett told The Fiji Times they were waiting to go out onto a dry dock in Lautoka so the ship could be fixed as there was an issue with the tail shaft. He said the aim was to continue medical clinics in maritime areas. “It’s an old ship, it’s 75 years old and there’s always some issue but we finished the five-month outreach in Fiji about a month ago,” he said. “We just want to serve and bring basic healthcare to the beautiful people of the maritime islands of Fiji.”
