rs. Today I got a call from Maina Muhia (WFP) that they will bring the corn delivery at lunch time. And he wanted to visit our place, so I went to get him at his office. When we arrived at the hospital the truck was just unloading 15o bags of corn and they had to take back an older delivery that went bad because it was packed before it could dry completely. Mr. Muhia went through our camp and spoke with the displaced people. He asked them if they thought of returning home some time but nobody wants to leave. He saw that the people were happy in the camp. Some men even tried to get some work but it's not that easy. The women who got a piece of land to cultivate, were occupied with their garden ad the elderly women took care of the children. It is also surprising how well the different tribes live together. Muhia said that our camp is an example for all of Kenya. While he had discussions with the camp people, I organized everything for tomorrow, together with our doctor Wanjara. On Saturday the Lions Club of Gilgil will offer a free eye control for all residents. For this we will prepare a room and supply two nurses. At 4 pm Maina Muhia asked me if I could bring him back to Nakuru and in the car he thanked me again for this beautiful and informative day and he even had time to laugh. He would like to come back next week.
