Visit of the Head Teacher

rs. Today the Head Teacher, Mr. Njoroge, visited us. As I feel more at ease outside we met in front of our storage container. He wanted to know if this year again we will visit the school to deworm all children. As we are very busy at the moment and need all energy to keep the cholera disease in control, we agreed that we will come after the holidays. Our medical team usually goes to the school once a month to give some talks on aids, hygiene, and contraception. All these themes are a taboo for the parents as well as the teachers. So it is our doctors who have to take action.
