            I am Rick. I am with an organization called Mercy Ships with my family. I am in 4^th grade. The Africa Mercy is in the shipyard right now so I am staying in South Africa  [Appelsbosh]. I am 9 years old. My classmates are Fride, Anna, Elijah and Elliot. My father is from Sri Lanka and my mother is from Holland. I was born in England. My life is different than most others but  I love my life so far. My teacher is called Miss Danae. She is a great teacher to me. My 6 year old brother is called Andre, he is a good brother. The ship is cool! South Africa is great. Have a nice day.
