rs. First thing in the morning for me is usually a checking tour through the camp. Without order and purity it is not possible to live in these primitive circumstances. Our guard Askari also helps me doing the duties. The children always get some toys to play with and they love it. Also these elderly men enjoyed their time with a game they recently got.
In the hospital we can witness some progress. The grandma who was half lame now can walk a little but with the help of her husband - all thanks to our steady therapies. Needless to say that the husband is also very happy and grateful. The four newcomers that arrived this morning, got their first meal on our ground. One of them said that he hadn't properly eaten for three days and he was also full of gratitude. All three were chased away from the region of Eldoret. They told me that it is impossible to return home; there is no security. The fear of the people is still reigning everywhere. I the meantime they got a little hut but then the owner kicked them out again. He wanted a rent but they couldn't afford to pay anything because they had no work. That's the reason they are now here and ask for a tent place. Soon our 50 tents are full!
