rs. Stephan and Hennie left Kenya and went back to their countries. So here I am back alone with all the burdens at the Rhein-Valley Hospital. Fortunately the air cargo delivery with baby food arrived today and we were busy unloading the truck. We had to wait 4 weeks to get it through customs in Nairobi! Next week we will transport the food boxes to the hospital and distribute them to the mothers.
sh. The Red Cross in Nairobi promised to visit the Rhein-Valley Hospital this morning at 10 am, to discuss the arising problems with the increasing number of refugees in our region. Many of the refugees came to our facilities in order to manifest their cause. We waited until 2 pm but nobody from the Red Cross arrived. We will try to intervene in Switzerland and Holland after we return home tonight. We have enough video and photo material to convince the organization on the urgency of the situation. Thousands of people are on the move and fear to go back to their homes. We promised them that we will do our best to improve the sad situation. Ruth Schäfer, the director of the Rhein-Valley Hospital will stay here and still hopes for more cooperation and support for the coming days and weeks. The picture below was also taken today and shows patients waiting to get their vaccinations; in the middle Ruth Schäfer.
sh. There were again a lot of activities at the Rhein - Valley Hospital today. The situation is not improving and again thousands of refugees came for their food portions. Thanks to Soyana and Hero
we could offer them soya protein, milk rice, bananas and cookies. The people were all very patient although we suffered from the heat at 50° C in the glazing sun. The faces we met were still sad but they are all happy to get something to eat. The work volume is increasing every day and we hope to get some help for Ruth Schäfer in the near future. Tomorrow the head of Red Cross Nairobi will visit us thanks to the assistance of Heinz Heer from the KidstoKids organisation in Switzerland. Kennie from Holland and myself (Stephan) will have our last mission before we return to our countries in Europe.
sh. This morning we prepared our meals for tomorrow. In the afternoon we visited the official town hospital in Nakuru. Unfortunately the patients there are by far not treated 
the same way we are doing it at our own Rhein - Valley Hospital. One patient was even laying in front of the hospital without getting any treatment or care. Although the situation there is quite frightening, we have no rights to intervene.
sh. Today we had a hard job at the Rhein-Valley Hospital in Ksasambara. Around 4000 people got their food and water. The whole hospital staff was occupied all day. At 5:30 pm the last family was served. Some additional helpers took care of the registration of the refugees. If you are not here you cannot believe the current situation and feelings. Again a day has passed without a real hope at the horizon. We are all tired. Not because of the hard work but because of what we watch. We can only partially help the people in distress.
Today again the temperature was around 45 - 50° C and we visited two refugee camps in Naivasha, one with 3500 Kikuju's and another with about 1750 Kiranji, Luja and Luo people. Everywhere the sitution is the same: men, women and children are all traumatized and scared. According to the latest news people in Molo again lit fires and houses were burned to ashes. Still the people believe in God and hope for help.
