We got special passes and all that cause we're an International Christian School. (I'm in grade 7) we also have 60 10+ graders chosen for volunteers when the doulos is docked here in Hong Kong. I can't wait to see it tomorrow!. The Doulos just docked on Hong Kong tonight (I live here), my school is going to see that ship.

It looks out of place from all the other ships, but I thought it was just some foreign ship allowed to offload its passengers without going through immigration. Only <strong>now</strong> did I realise the significance. I saw this ship when I passed by Vivo City some time back.

I am so hoping to be able to go on board one day. To be able to help so many people and travel around the world at the same time, I can't think of a more fulfilling thing to do. wY, awesome stuff on the ship.

I was also still in school back then. My friend and I had run into an ex-teacher who told us to go check out this ship. But we had no idea what she was talking about until 5 years later :) Hi Trish, the Doulos came to Singapore in 2001 too. I was also still in school back then.
