Enough drinking water thanks to our fountains

sh. With the current high temperatures water is the gold for Kenya's population. Thanks to our two fountains that we built in and above the Rhein-Valley Hospital thousands of people luckily still have enough fresh drinking water. Today we were in the town (Nakuru) and saw some used shoes on the street. We just wondered if these were the clothing collections from the help organizations that are being sold instead of being given to the poor...? On the market there are enough fresh fruits (see picture) but the people don't have the money to buy them.

Mama Matata did the planning for the coming week, so that the food distributions on Tuesday and Saturday can be done without problems. And on Monday we will start installing the tents. There will be a whole tent camp and all the sanitary facilities have to be organized. So a busy week is in sight.
