Constructed in 1914, MV Doulos is the world’s oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.
Over 20 million visitors have been welcomed on board for tours, programs and visits to the floating book fair. With stops in over 500 ports of call, this unique ship has visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations.

How is the money I need allocated?
April 25, 2008 – 6:39 pm
That’s a great question.
It Cost $885 per month to serve on the ship.
Where does it go?
$653 goes to running the ship–each crew member receives 20 euros per month for spending money. After 2 years, the ship also pays for my flight back to the States.
$170 goes to health insurance, which is required through OM.
7% goes to admin fees= $62.00
5% goes to OM USA= $44.25
1% goes to OM international= $8.85
and finally 1% or $8.85 goes to the international emergency fund.

Meet Tony: What I do part 2

He could often be found sitting on a park bench downtown for hours, or walking through the down town area. He stood out because of the huge dreaded hair he used to sport and the multiple layers of clothing he’d wear in 100 degree weather. Read More
What I Do Now
February 18, 2008 – 1:00 am
Working on the streets allows me the opportunities to hang out with my friends like “Champ”. Champ’s been on the street a long time and is disabled in a wheel chair with both of his legs amputated. Even though this may be a depressing situation for most people, I don’t ever think I’ve seen champ in a bad mood or have been unable to joke around with him. Even though he gets social security disability income, he chooses to support his daughter which does not leave him enough for rent. This is just an example of the many social problems related to homelessness. Read More
