Moi Day in Kenya

ak. As it was a national holiday today, the hospital was relatively quiet. Although the staff appreciated a slight break after a busy week, the children in the hospital's IDP camp were even more appreciative of the fact that they didn't have to go to school. Moi Day is celebrated in honour of former President Daniel Arap Moi who was Kenya's commander-in-chief for over 27 years, from 1975-2002.
