Rainy Sunday

ak. It was an unusually rainy day in Nakuru, which meant we were unable to traverse the muddy road to the hospital. As Sundays are normally a quiet day at the RVH anyway, there is little news to report other than that we hope the sun will come back tomorrow. In the mean time, please enjoy this beautiful rainbow that was captured in Lake Nakuru National Park last week.

Hail and rain in the Rift Valley Province

rs. This girl in our waiting room can also not understand how our weather plays crazy today: hail and rain the whole day. And a temperature of 16 °C which is very low for Kenya. What is worst that our refugees have not enough warm clothes and already many people came with colds.

Falling temperatures, rain and a birth

rs. Stephan and the other Swiss returned home and here I am back alone with our daily duties. The temperatures drastically fell to 18°C, it is heavily raining and it became windy. The rain season cannot be stopped any- more. Today a new soul was born: Jakob. Besides this many daily routine and office work and some troubles because of our inconsistent power supply which is especially bad if you are working on the computer.
