The church closed the toilets - unbelievable!

rs. When I arrived at the hospital ground, people were already waiting in line to get their daily food ration. After I parked my car a woman came to me and asked where she can use a toilet, because two days ago the church closed the public toilets! This is "love your next like yourself" practiced by the Catholic Church... Then I went to the hospital and Niaga from our crew came and said they fear further aggression by some groups of people and he questioned if we should give out food today. So we carefully served group by group, first those who are registered, then the Kasambara group, those from Thugunui and then the rest. The distribution was finally more or less quiet.

Italians bring pharmaceuticals and more...

shh. We had a hard working day. Mama Matata and our book- keeper Niaga got a visit from a Government agent because of the papers for our container. In Kenya you learn to be patient.

The drawings should be in the big "kidstokids" container that is planned to finally arrive next week. We also installed the first 10 tents; we hope to finish the camp by the end of the week.

Uncertain future for many Kenyans

st. Today we had an emergency meeting discussing the situation with our bookkeeper Niaga. We established new lists with all the new refugees and planned the food rations to be given on Friday. A major road in Nakuru, where normally thousands of people and cars dominate, a dangerous silence is reigning and we all don't know what the future will bring. We saw refugees in various vehicles carrying their small portion of possessions. For all the same questions: where to go...
