Today was a big day, medical supplies were distributed to 10 different dispensaries in Kenya and to two hospitals.(picture of medical supply delivery and below is of supplies being packed for dispersement)
I had goat and toast for lunch. Not bad, but I hope I will not be forced to eat it every day . . . . I will be visiting the girls home in Limburu this weekend. 82 orphans live there. A friend of mine is stopping by tomorrow. Her name is Megan and has an interesting story of her journey to help the people of Kenya. Her blog is http://www.megangoestokenya.blogspot.com/The Tana River flows only in Kenya, means the West Kili side has no river, we need to collect runoff (rain). Runoff collection is quintessential in providing water for the people.
I asked Nahashon to setup a bank account so people could send support for these orphans. They could use some financial support. It would be great if people could help support Engineers Without Borders as well- web page: http://www.ewb-oc.org/. You will find the description about our EWB project in Endana/Kenya there.

OK, that’s it for now.

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteWe just received an email from Bill Cooper with your blog link. What great things you are attempting to do during your time abroad.
We are a non-profit called Outside the Lens www.outsidethelens.org. As part of our programming we have a program called "Picture Me, Picture You" where youth from the states are matched with youth abroad for a pen pal exchange. The time commitment is minimal and the letter can be send in their native language. It is a great opportunity to promote cross-cultural understanding and has always proven to be a powerful experience for all groups involved.
I am currently looking for one additional group to collaborate with a school in Del Mar this spring. Would you have any leads to a classroom or group of youth that might be interested in corresponding with the U.S.?
We look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,
Niki Even

Although it certainly is possible to go with powder free or perhaps even a non latex material, there is nothing that is going to give you the dexterity of natural latex. Not only that, latex forms an effective barrier against potentially harmful body fluid and it is not only a protection for you, it is a protection for those that you are treating.
