Report from Mikinduri
Jessica McKenna is sending reports on the latest MCoH mission to Mikinduri.
Hello everyone! It is day 9 in Kenya and it is fair to say that it feels like home! The villagers and people could not do anymore to make us feel welcome. Ted, Karen and Marilyn tell us that we are spoiled this year and blessed with a warm shower and toilet. We were on the road all day yesterday starting with touring the dispensary, the sewing center, 3 schools and the wells. It was an experience on a whole different level and the group seemed to enjoy what they saw. We were welcomed with open arms and songs and smiles everywhere we went and have a lot of photos and videos that we are more then excited to share with everyone! The weather is great. Hot during the day and rains like cats and dogs at night…..keeping a lot of us awake! Ha. We are tentatively planning a visit with a CBC African correspondent, David McGuffin, who is interested in doing a story on what we are doing in Mikinduri. He is planning on coming here on Monday and spending a few days with us while we are performing the clinics. If the story does take place, we could have the opportunity to be aired on The National. It is exciting news and we are looking forward to see what is going to take place. We are on the road today, heading to a place called Sweet Waters where we will be experiencing a camp out and safari. We will be busy but it will be a personal enjoyment busy getting prepared for our clinics next week. We miss you all! Hope things are as great at home as they are going here! Take care and talk soon!
