As reported in this Wired article, photojournalist Scott Harrison has made a very interesting photo project entitled “On a Mercy Ship” about the work of Mercy Ships - a fleet of hospital ships staffed by volunteers that provide free surgery to needy people around the world.
Scott served a year onboard the Mercy Ship Anastasis in West Africa as a volunteer photojournalist and his project focuses on the help they give to the disfigured through advanced, life-changing maxillofacial operations. Note that some of the photos are somewhat graphic (in a medical way). Interesting project shedding light on some very worthy work.
