<font size=1>"Suppose you had to drink your morning cuppa from a jam jar. Then suppose you were drinking it on a ship with leaking cabins, no running water and no heat. Conditions like this might not be common, but they can be a reality for some crews. You can help us provide the basics necessary to make such seafarers feel human again."</font size=1>
