Remy was a teacher in her home country, The Netherlands, for 8 years when she began to feel that change was coming. Knowing about Mercy Ships, Remy didn’t realize there were volunteer teachers on board! She eagerly applied for a 2 year commitment and 11 years later, she’s still caring for children and families on board our ships.  With a passion for children’s development, not only academically, but socially and emotionally, Remy began to equip children for the transition to ship life and help families navigate this big life change when coming aboard.   In this episode, Remy shares about how hard times bring community together, the importance of showing children that they are valued, and her own time of self-discovery on board.  If you’ve ever wondered about bringing your family on board and how the transition will be for your children — you won’t want to miss this episode.  For more information about Mercy Ships, visit www.mercyships.org      Follow us on Instagram at New Mercies Podcast
