No ship visited on Tuesday (04/03):
Four of us, Nancy Tao, Hsiao Ping Chao, Steve Yeboah, and I went to Houston International Seafarers Centers to talk about the next step of Lifeline to Seamen, Inc. working with HISC. The further decision will be made by the board meeting of HISC on 4/5. Afterwards. we went to Hermann Hospital to visit actually two injured Chinese seamen from the ship RUI NING 5. One is the carpenter as we mentioned last week. The other one is the ordinary seaman. He hurt his chest and his left arm. He is in more serious condition then the carpenter.
