So glad to welcome the return of the Laikipia East group of
twenty medical staff to the lodge as
they hold their second Kimanjo Medical Camp for the Laikipia & Beyond Unity Cup . Again they have had a busy
weekend treating several hundred patients, including 100 dental patients and
HIV counselling and Testing. All treated for free. They assured us that despite
the hard work the weekend is a fun bonding experience for them all. Great to
see their sense of fun alongside their professionalism.

The event is again organised by the Laikipia Wildlife Forum
with the
Zeitz Foundation - a great inititiative by them - using football as the main vehicle to
promote peace between all ethnic groups around Laikipia. The 45 local football
teams are highly competitive as they vie for a chance to meet Samuel Eto’o in
the finals at Nanyuki Stadium.
The Kimanjo regional final
benefits from the great commentary of our BAF Liaison officer
Ayub Kingori; his highly inspired, passionate and unique style of commentary
will grace the Nanyuki final on May 23rd.
Environmental education , tree planting and clean -up
activities are a major focus of the event, along with peace and reconciliation
events and voter education.... much being done this year through theatre
entertainments.
