These extra cute baby pictures were taken on a mobile clinic on Friday. Twenty five blankets and cardigans were handed out: all knitted by
an 86 year old grandmother in England....that made the Samburu mothers laugh-
‘She can’t be English- how can a blue eyed
woman see so well to make them? Blue eyes are weak.. this woman is very,
very strong!’
The little children may look as if they have some terrible
disease... but it's only their "I’ve been
brave as a lion" stickers for having their vaccinations!
Free mosquito nets were an added bonus on this week’s
clinics, to celebrate World Malaria Day. Many gains have been made in reducing malaria through public health measures such as these. Much more effort is needed across Kenya. The Samburu areas to our Northern side, where this clinic visit took place, are at lower altitude and therefore more prone to malaria,
especially during the rains.
