      <image:title>Outreach Stories - Cyclone Freddy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Outreach report Cyclone Freddy affected Mozambique and Malawi in February and March 2023. It was a deadly storm with flooding, loss of homes, crop destruction, and contaminated water. Freddy was the longest-lasting cyclone since records began. Mercy Air South Africa along with ASAM Ministries in Chimoio, Mozambique, and Rise Against Hunger and Crisis Response Network, both in South Africa flew in food and aid to the Shire Basin area along the powerful Zambezi River. As you can see, homes were flooded or completely washed away. Food was scarce and clean water was needed. We were donated 2 tonnes of high energy emergency food we flew into the flood area. Our helicopter spend almost a full month in Malawi and flew almost 100 hours in Disaster response. We are so grateful to the donors who paid for this flying. The victims of Cyclone Freddy thank you.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mercy Air is situated in the hills outside of White River with nearby opportunities for shopping, medical care, car-repairs and recreation. Many people who are working in difficult circumstances find this a quiet place to re-connect with their families and with God – a place for spiritual rejuvenation. Mercy Air Hospitality offers a number of comfortable self-catering cottages and guest rooms for Christian workers to come rest, relax and restore. We are able to accommodate families, individuals and groups, including small conferences.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - About Us Mercy Air is an Christian-NGO registered as Section 21 organisation in South Africa. Since 1991, Mercy Air has been providing aviation services to humanitarian and mission organisations throughout southern Africa. We are based in White River, South Africa. Our international offices include South Africa, United States, Switzerland, and Germany.</image:title>

      <image:title>About Us - Our History In 1986 Ron &amp; Barbara Wayner were attending a mission school seminar in Texas USA, and heard Don Price (YWAM, SA) talking about his vision of aircraft being used to transport missionaries into war-torn Mozambique, and other surrounding countries.</image:title>

      <image:title>About Us - Inspired by what they heard and following God’s leading, they raised the funds to purchase and rebuild (over 9 months) an old Cessna 180. They left Holland, Michigan, USA on September 5th 1991 and arrived safely in South Africa a number of days later, after flying for 80 hours to ferry the plane across the Atlantic Ocean.  YWAM Mission Air later became known as Mercy Air.</image:title>

      <image:title>About Us - Soon the Cessna 180 was replaced by a Cessna 210 and a Beech 18, here shown in its new Mercy Air paint scheme. Ron and John Herbert can be seen doing their pre-flight walk around. Both aircraft were operated by Mercy Air for about 18 years.</image:title>

      <image:title>About Us - In September 2004, Matthias and Karin Reuter joined the Mercy Air family with N-MA which was soon in action bridging the gap between remote airfields and inaccessible villages.</image:title>
