rs. Today I spoke with the women in the camp. They told me their experiences and they thanked me that finally somebody takes care of them. They were without hope because they saw no future. But now their children can go to school and have something to eat. This is a step forward. The men on their part complained that the women were to slow in cooking. Perhaps we have to organize it better. Our cook in the hospital also had a complain, this time concerning the patients who go up at night to make some tea in the kitchen but do not leave it in order. I advised her to tell them directly and if they don't listen, she should close the kitchen in the night...

In the afternoon I went to Nakuru to get some chemicals against insects. Because there is a lot of rain in this season, we have quite some problems with the midges and flies. On the way home I passed the Nakuru Camp where somebody stopped me to get rid of his sorrows. It seems that they have a disaster there: Since 3 days there have no more water and it is not easy to get wood. An employer of the municipality was there and told them that it is now time to go home. The people refused the proposal and on their part asked the Government to take action within 14 days. Some already went home and got some help with the transportation but there was no security at all and they even think of returning to the camp. Here there are certainly big problems that have to be faced by the Government in the very near future.

A daily scene from our own camp

Back home I got a call from our doctor who got the clinical results of the boy who had problems with walking. It seems he has Pseudohypetrophy and could not live more than 7 years. Now, how do we tell this to his mother? Perhaps I will find some medical advice in the internet what could be done. It is my philosophy never to give up.
