Raising awareness of seafarers…

26/02/2007 by the walkers.

Veronica writes; had an excellent opportunity today to talk about the plight of seafarers as my two companions in the swimming pool (where I am preparing for the walk) spoke about the wonderful hospitality of the Filipino crewmembers serving on the cross sea ferries. They were interested to hear about the the poor conditions experienced by some seafarers, and dismayed that they spend so long at sea in order to keep our supermarket shelves filled. Talking to my friends about the work of the AOS was a real eye opener for them.
