With almost 400 black and white and colour photographs from 4 months working in Togo, western Africa, this is a portfolio narrowed down from more than 31,000 images.
A mixture of photos and photo essays from my three months working on the world's largest hospital ship - the Africa Mercy, as well as a photo essay "UNICODES and the Street Kids", a study on life on the streets. And my latest edition to Leprosy Eliminated? - a visit to a leprosy outpost in central Togo.
All profits go towards my next outing on the Africa Mercy, to Sierra Leone in February. All the crew (doctors, nurses, engineers, comms, dining staff etc.) are volunteers and so we have to rely on donors such as yourselves to fund our work.

Tom showed me his own copy of this book last night. It is astounding both in relation to the photography and as a testament to the charitable work that goes relatively unnoticed in The mercy Ship that navigates the West coast of Africa. The work he has produced deserves a wider audience.
