Growing support for Mama Matata

sh. Today we not only served 3,500 refugees at remaining hot temperatures but we could do it in the presence of many journalists from Nairobi as well as a TV crew from Switzerland (TV TSR). A big help to bring together so many press people was Josef Muyu, Director of the Lake Nakuru Lodge. Mr. Muya (see right picture) also brought a present for the refugees: 4 bags of milk powder, answered questions from the journalists and praised the activities of the Rhein - Valley Hospital. Today we gave out food for the next 3 days: corn, rice, sugar, white and brown porridge, Frutapura baby food, beans, milk powder and not to forget: fresh drinking water. Some hope is dawning: the press is acknowledging our work and we have to forget the past. Let's build together a new future for the Kenyan people!
