Today is Kenyan Holiday

rs. Many things happened today. Our Nurse Wilda was completing the medical history sheets, Carolin needed new batteries for an instrument and one new guest wanted to join our refugee camp. Today is a Kenyan holiday so the children could stay at home and were enjoying their playing. The women all were doing laundry at the same time and our doctor Wajara prepared new cards for the patients. Then I saw our grandma who is surprisingly better after many treatments she got. Her husband helped her walking through the garden. The boy who has weak muscles was asking for a better softer mattress. Fundi wanted to order charcoal, but I told him to wait until end of this month, we have to keep our budget plan. At 5 pm I went home while the first drops of the daily rain started to fall and one of the IDP's needed a ride to Nakuru because he wanted to visit his sister in the general hospital. He could come with me and I gave him some money for the way back.

Laundry lines booked out!

Every day new patients are coming to our hospital
