50 tents from the Swiss Red Cross arrived

sh. This morning we prepared everything for the arrival of the 50 tents that the Swiss Red Cross donated for the refugees of Nakuru. Each tent has a weight of nearly 60 kg. Immediately after receiving the tents we started to assemble the first one. The family tents will carry 6-8 people and all tents have a special waterproof roof. After 3 hours the first tent was ready! Now we can prepare all tents so that the refugees get some shelter which is especially important in regard to the rain period that is starting soon. We also got a call that the expected food container is only 25 k away from the hospital.
