Tonight Stephan comes back to Nakuru

rs. Today it's again busy in the hospital. Aska recovered a bit from her injury but her face is still swollen. I could stay in the hospital only for a short time because a lot of office work is waited for me at home. There was again a power brake down and only thanks to my generator I could write today's report. Kamau who wanted to repair the broken water tube, couldn't come but sent someone else: his fried Paul who did the reparation in a twinkling of an eye. Then I had to prepare to drive to Nairobi because tonight my partner and co-founder of the hospital Stephan Holderegger cames again from Switzerland to assist us here - what we badly need!
