Mama Matata (Ruth Schäfer) with Kenyan children in the tent camp of the Rhein-Valley Hospital in Kasambara, Nakuru.
rs. Today we had another of these 12-hour days, and this on May 1st, where some have a holiday. After experiencing heavy rain in the past few days, we were lucky today, the weather remained fine. The electrician came to control the secutity lights at the hospital and then we brought to paper the various rules we want to implement for the camp. Suddenly we saw Wakoma with his donkey, carrying a load of wood (see picture below). I exclaimed "Don't forget to give water to your donkey for all his heavy work." The wood is used to accomplish our toilets (see picture right). As you see on the picture there is no luxury, but it's better than nothing. Together with Njaga we finalized the plan to house 20 more men and their families within our tent camp. As today marks our fourth Anniversary of the Rhein-Valley Hospital (it was opened May 1st 2004), we bought some mineral water and sat together to celebrate the event. At the same time we could explain the new rules to the displaced peoples of the camp.
