A visit from Switzerland

rs. Today we had a visit from Switzerland. Felix Moser and his family came to Kenya to celebrate a real Kenyan wedding which is on a much bigger scale than we know it from Switzerland. His wife Eunice' origin is from Nyeri, a typical Kikuiu region, about 180 km north of Nairobi. Eunice brought her sister with her who has a 4 year old girl that cannot walk and also has some eating disorder. I learned that she didn't get enough oxygen at birth time. Our doctor Wanjara check ed the girl and gave some advice. I personally think that with intense physiotherapy the condition might change. I also offered the mother to stay here for a month and our doctor could try to help.

The mood is crippled

rs. If you watch our refugees in the camp, you currently see that they are not in the best mood. They hear all the news of brutalities in the villages as in Nyeri where again violence broke out yesterday. We also have people from this village in the Rhein-Valley Hospital camp. They repeatedly tell us that they are so happy to be here and to have some security and and shelter. If you look into the faces of these displaced people you recognize their sorrow. For example Bugwua (left in picture with white hat) said, that his farm doesn't exist anymore and he doesn't know how to feed his family. He had tears in his eyes and seems to be desperate. We try to help these people and pray for them. We can only hope for a better future for all Kenyans.
