THE CLINIC
The Clinic is
doing badly, just as I had indicated earlier in my reports; we are running in
arrears in most of the areas. For instance the salaries, has a deficit of USD 357.80/- have not been raised, as there is still a balance of USD 173.12 to pay off the last members of staff. Beside that, we still have
other outstanding bills to clear. It has never occurred to us this way and the
situation is becoming out of control. One member of staff who has not received
his salary could not control himself but broke into tears. We just looked at him
helplessly.
The number of
patients for example was 9 for the 7 days and yet we used to receive between
9-15 patients a day. The deliveries have also decreased, at least we used to get
1 to 2 deliveries daily but now we are only receiving 1 to 2 deliveries a week.
We used to
think this situation was temporary, but now it looks like it has come to stay.
Despite the
fact that we are receiving few patients, the expenses on the hand are rising.
This is articulated to usage of water, electricity, free medical for staffs and
children, maintaining staff while on duty like making tea, tissue/toilet papers
among others.
Cash generated
from outpatients and maternity was USD 342.13 much less than the USD 498.30 raised last week. Outpatient was USD 273.03 and maternity
realizing only USD 69.09.
The expenses
amounted to USD 157.45 leaving cash balance of USD 184.67 which
went to the deficit of USD 357.80 from last week salaries and left
deficit balance of USD 173.12 which we shall continue to raise in the
next week..
You can verify
the details on pages 3 and 4.
LEARNING
CENTRE
The children
are doing well and have added weight and look healthy.
The Nairobi
International Show was on for the whole week and all schools were advised by the
Ministry of Education to attend. So our learning centre closed on Friday to give
opportunity for those who could afford to attend.
The teacher
informed me that Glide Church will visit the centre in December and would
install some computers/laptops in one of the units upstairs, where they will be
networked for the children to use. This is indeed a big step for the children
and we are looking forward for that moment.
If they have to
use the unit upstairs which is actually idle, we have to re-allocate the
community outreach for their Thursday meetings, which is not a problem.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
During the
Thursday’s support group meetings, the number increased to 36 from 30. We
surprised them by giving each two kilos of sweet potatoes and packet of milk.
Florence
encouraged them to eat nutritional foods such as sweet potatoes, which are cheap
and readily available in the streets. They should not always think of maize or
Rice to be the only food yet very expensive for them to afford.
