Red Cross will help with the sanitary installations

rs. At midnight Stephan arrived in Nakuru. He again will help our crew for a couple of weeks. And he also brought some gifts from Switzerland. The Rohner company sponsored 1200 pairs of socks. In the morning, our first activity was the meeting with a representative of the local Red Cross in Nakuru. After discussing the sanitary situation they agreed to help build the toilets and showers so that minimal hygienic conditions are guaranteed. We also talked about the rules for the refugees established at our camp and how they can be implemented. Later in the afternoon we had to go home because our electrician was expected to repair our electric system. After 1 1/2 hours everything was back in order. Now we can make our last preparations for tomorrow. On Monday we have a big food distributions action because this time the people will get the portions for the whole week.

After an intense day we were rewarded with a nice sunset!
