Today's report comes from Alex Paur (left), a young student from Switzerland who is currently visiting the Rhein-Valley Hospital and their water stations to study the water situation for a personal study.Yesterday I arrived in Nairobi and today I met the responsable people at the hospital, Ruth Schäfer and Stephan Holderegger. As the dark clouds showed a wet weather prospective, we soon climbed the mountain to visit the water station on 2700 m, which really fascinated me a lot. With the help of a simple system the residents of the area get their frish drinking water. Before we started our way back, Mama Matata ensured that somebody would bring charcoal to the fire places of the refugees in the hospital camp. So they couldn't came to the point to start deforesting. On our journey home we quickly stopped at the Show-Ground refugee camp in Nakuru. It was frightening to see in which circumstances the people have to live. Each one, who gets a place within the hospital ground, can be more than happy.
I liked the hills of Kasambara and the intensive green of the trees. I was also enriching to meet all the locals, especially the children who are all in their hearts. At the same time I was a little shocked when I heard how many difficulties daily have to be surmounted. I admire Mama Matata for her constant dedication and hope that she will meet less hurdles in the future.
