Its is helping the people and the animals from cities in World War 2. The UNRWA (United Nations relief and rehabilitation administration).hired "Seagoing cowboys". They would go to places all around the world to take care of animals shipped overseas.

In August 1945 they, Luke and don, received orders to go to New Orleans. They arrived on August 14th. The day the pacific war ended. They got their papers and border the SS Charles W. Wooster, headed for Greece with a cargo of 335 horses plus all of their food.

They could also see a lot of places like Europe and China. They also saw the acropolis in Greece but caring for the animals kept Luke busy for a while. Furthermore, they had to be feed and water 2 to 3 times a day. The stalls had to be cleaned to, so they needed help.

The program was a great way to help the people and the animals. We probably wouldn't have as many animals if the seagoing cowboys didn't help. That's why they need you to join. Its very beneficial and you can see places you have never seen before it's also a great way to make friends since you're stuck on a ship for days you can get to now them just like Luke and don.

In paragraph 5,6,7,8 you can see why Luke joined. He tried something new and liked it. He had a fun time seeing all the places and helping the animals.

Helping on the from, did probably help too.

God new what was going to happen in Luke life and God was there every step of the way even though Luke could have died that day he slipped and fell god saved him, and he only had some cracked ribs.
