Season 4, Episode 1
In 2005, Nikki Aldum toured the Anastasis in her home country of South Africa. She had been teaching for several years and was happy in the classroom but walking up that gangway changed everything.
Soon Nikki came aboard to teach in the Mercy Ships academy and 17 years later, she’s still playing a vital role in ensuring the children on board our ships receive an excellent education. Currently serving from Texas as the Superintendent of Mercy Ships academies, Nikki brings a wealth of experience and passion to our teachers and students.
In this episode, Nikki shares her journey of coming aboard, the profound lessons she learned from her students, and her dreams for the upcoming school year.
Get ready for all the back to school feels as Nikki takes you behind the scenes of our academies.
