New food delivery from Kenyan Red Cross

rs. Today I planed a full program but several unexpected things occurred. The telephone rang early in the morning to inform me about an express mail from the Meds company, problably the insulin was in it, and I had to hurry because it needs refrigeration. Then I heard that the Kenyan Red Cross was at the hospital with a food delivery and I had to get the key of the storage container and asked all available refugees to help unload the track. It was matter of time to get everything into the dry before the next rain started. It's not only that but the truck has no chance to get down the hill on a slippery road! By 5 pm everything was done. Although I had a sweater, I was freezing because the temperature went down to 16°C and it was raining extensively. I am happy to have a covered home but had to think of the many camp people who also must be cold tonight.
