Film shooting at the Aequator with Nicolas Senn

ns. Today the Swiss delegation (Gaby from the Swiss TV, musician Nicolas Senn and Stehan Holderegger) went to the Aequator and visited a village where Nicolas had a concert last September. The locals immediately recognized the Swiss dulcimer player and showed autograph cards from last time. Gaby filmed the meeting and could make several interviews. We even plan to organize a big concert together with Kenyan dancers. Fortunately we had no rain on the way back to Nakuru. Soon the rain season is expected to start here and we already had first showers last night. Let's hope that the thousands of refugees in the camps will survive! The conditions will get worse and worse.

Spontanous help on the street

rs. This morning, on my way to the hospital I saw a woman at the border of the street. She seemed to suffer. I rushed to her and pulled her into my car (see picture), where I realized that she had a low blood sugar level. Immediately I gave her some sweet drink and her condition improved. We then checked her condition in the hospital. Today we also worked on the organization of the priorities in regard to the refugees who will get one of the 50 tents that should arrive from the Swiss Red Cross in Berne end of this week.
