In today's edition of the Kenyan Newspaper "The People Daily", a story of a girl was published that escaped from a burning church. As the paper mentions, "young Wanjiru persevered with serious burns on the left side of her body for four days at the Catholic Church grounds before a Good Samaritan took her to Moi Referral Hospital for treatment. She is now camping at an non-governmental organisation-sponsored facility, Rhein-Valley Hospital, at Kasambara in Mbaruku area of Nakuru District. Wanjiru is grateful to the hospital's directors Ruth and Stephan who footed her hospital bill. Stephan says the girl was initially deeply traumatised that she could not allow anybody to touch her. But she responded well to treatment and has now recovered. The hospital is hosting over 2,000 internally displaced persons from Eldoret, Burnt Forest, Likia, Londiani and Naivasha. Some from Nakuru showground had also moved to the hospital. Wanjiru intends to get back to school at the nearby Kasambara Primary School. She has however forgiven those who killed her father and grandmother, but would like the Government to pursue and arrest them." Click on the article to enlarge it.
