Despite bad news we still have hope!

rs. Today I had a stressful day. I transported all the baby food we got on Friday to the hospital, from where it will be distributed to the refugees. At the hospital we were also busy. A patient with third-degree burns came for after-treatment. Unfortunatey we again got bad news about the still active unrests: 13 people were killed, among them a pregnant women with her unborn baby. The locals, especially the Kikuju have big fear in regard to more violence here in the North-West region. Without daily prayers to God our team and myself couldn't continue our tasks. We will fight for the poor and try to relieve the destress, whatever is happening.
