Cultural Café was an event in the ship’s Logos Lounge which aimed to encourage Filipinos to be involved in mission. Sitting around tables which were each hosted by crewmembers, the audience watched cultural items including a percussion group and a Dutch dance. After crewmembers wore their national costumes to form a Parade of Nations, there were more performances like yodelling and salsa dancing. Anja Bänninger (Switzerland) shared her life story and challenged the audience to take a step into mission. After the event, two boys said to Kanako Iida (Japan), the event organiser, “When Doulos came to Cebu, it was only a floating book fair for me. But today I knew these ships are not only floating book fairs. These are special ships.” Kanako later commented, “I am glad I could hear this encouragement to be serving on the ship.”
