WEEKLY REPORT AS AT 3rd to 9th JANUARY 2011

THE CLINIC

The number of patients attended to was 29, 2 antenatal and 6 maternity cases. 

During the week we generated USD 320.23 from out/patients and USD 186.30 from maternity making a total USD 506.53 very much, almost half lower than last week.  Most locals traveled upcountry and spend all the money they had during Christmas festival, and also in January most children go to schools for the first time either Grade 1 or Secondary form 1, so they cannot have money to spend on medication, but cater for school fees.

The total expenses were USD 297.34 mainly locums and paying salaries. 

On 6^th we managed to pay the salaries of the staffs as follows: -

Boice Kitavi                                       -           USD 228.25

Solomon Asindivira                            -           USD 215.91

Selestine Lombisya                            -           USD 185.07

Rhoda Khasandi                                -           USD 80.19

Ken Otsieno                                       -           USD 80.19

Florence and Rosemary will pay themselves as funds come in.

$ 1,100 dollars for rent

$    200 dollars for the lab man

$      50 dollars for Rosemary – her weekly reports

$      50 dollars for Everlyn – to assist her on Okoth’s expenses

Also received was USD 86.36 through our bank account sent by Teresa Gipson to assist us offset the utility expenses for the Learning Centre.

World Food Programme

Florence attended their seminar on 4^th and 5^th and Hendricka, Angelina and Vincent attended on 6^th and 7^th at Pan Africa Hotel.

Since it is a Government project, they want to impose their rules so that the Government provides all Community Health Workers (CHW) when they start supplying food.  This we found was not acceptable, so we are still discussing. 

 

LEARNING CENTRE

On 4^th 21 children reported, but were send back home due to lack of food.  Evelyn said that she had not received food money from Marceline (Bware). 

The teachers took the weights of the children and found to be better than last term.

 

Barasa brought 7 bags of maize and 3 bags of beans.  This will last a whole term.  He also purchased books, pens, ink, rulers, covers and uniforms.

I handed USD 143.12 to Teacher Evelyn towards Ken Chemiati – Kileleshwa being sponsored by Catherine.

 

Benard Okoth will continue staying with Evelyn.

There is still a problem that needs to be addressed about the children at the Learning Centre who become homeless.  For example – Okoth’s case has not been resolved yet. 

 

There is another child whom Agneta our cook has been housing.  His name is Dickson Muruli – Kileleshwa in grade 8.  During the time when Feed the Children used to give us food, Agneta used to be given a small ratio to subsidize her budget, but since the programme was discontinued, she just struggles with him.  It is now running to 3 years.

 

Another new development is Odinga also at Kileleshwa, he has been staying with a friend’s late mother and now it seems she is surrendering him back to the Learning Centre.  According to the teacher and social worker Oding’a rural home cannot be located, since there are no close relatives.  One of the teacher’s (Alfred) wants to house Oding’a for a few days before an alternative is found.

The teachers and cook are taking up these responsibilities because they are close to them and whenever there is a problem, the children only look up to them for help.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

They received their Registration Certificate from the Ministry of Culture and Social Services and will open a bank account next Tuesday the 11^th with the Co-operative Bank of Kenya and deposit USD 194.94.  They spent USD 27.14 for registration and typing minutes.
