One malaria case and again no electricity

rs. The planned demonstration in the Uhuru Park was blocked by the military, but in Nakuru town again houses were burnt and there were some casualties. Here at the Rhein-Valley hopspital it was a quiet day. We only had one emergency case: a small boy with malaria was brought and urgently needed an infusion. The majority of the people of our camp went to church; some stayed and prepared lunch. I went home early. Unfortunately we again had a power break down. Electricity and telephone connections in Kenya are not for granted!
