Norway, Poland Israel (2) and Madagascar. In total ther¢ were 41 volunteers.
While travel restrictions continued to curtail our overseas activities, we carried out some building and
maintenance work at a project in Limavady.
By May time we were able to send our first international team to Norway and as foreign travel continued to
open up, we were able to carry out our more normal range of projects.
One nurse remains, working full time at the Good News Hospital at Mandritsara in Madagascar and we have
been able to support the ongoing expansion of th¢ hospital by sending teaTr￿ of skilled professionals to work
there.

disability, sickness and to advance education in the world, were achiev¢d in the project to the hospital at
Mandritsara.
LIFT does not aim to profit financially from projects, the money donated by volunteers is used directly to
cover most of the costs associated with the projects.
LIFT continues to caTry Out deputation work in churches, with other interested groups and we have taken our
Exhibition stand to many conventions.
