Celebrating Mama Matata

ak. This morning, a group of over 30 women from Kasambara congregated at the hospital to express their thanks for the support they have received from the hospital and its director, Ruth Schäfer. Following recent misunderstandings with the local church and secondary school, the womens group wanted to ensure Ruth and the hospital's staff were aware of the community's appreciation for the hospital. As mentioned in previous blog entries, the Rhein-Valley Hospital services over 80,000 people from the Kasambara and Thugunui region, a rural area 45 minutes outside of Nakuru.
