THE CLINIC
The week started well, though
low. Just like previously explained the cost of living has become high and the
locals are filling it, so to us too.

maternity 7 cases.
We were able to generate $ 714.30, outpatients raising $ 446.86 while maternity $ 267.44.

DRUGS - The total amount of $209.30 is high, this is because an outstanding bill of $95.34
was offset.
LOCUM – is low compared to
other weeks as Florence has since reported from her bed rest and so we could not
pay an extra person, this also was the same with the lab man, as Solomon resumed
from the exams he did for a period of 5 days and had to higher an extra person.
SUPPLIES – these expenses
are the commodities the clinic requires which include cotton wool, detergents,
serviettes, toilets papers among others.
Staff
Florence who has been sick has
improved and she is back to the clinic. Solomon – lab that was doing exams is
also back.
On 19th May 2011 we
were privileged to receive some students from US. They had come under Ray of
Hope Foundation – Dr Gipson.
They arrived at 10.00 am
accompanied by Barasa and were received by Florence and myself. There was a
brief introduction and tour of the clinic.
The children and support group
entertained them, after which we requested them to distribute food, which
Kitchel had left some money to purchase food for them.
They spent the rest of the day
with the children, had a tour to the homes of some clients and children.
They had brought some medical
supplies such as surgical drapes, surgical towels, sterile, gloves, Oley
catheter, baby flats and baby blankets that we received with a lot of thanks.
LEARNING CENTRE
The children were happy to receive
the American students whom they entertained with poems and songs. They later
stayed with them had lunch and toured the community. They had brought some
learning materials, which the teacher acknowledged.
Apart from the cost of living,
which is proofing to be difficult day by day, the children are fine.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The number of attendance was 29.
During their Thursday meetings they entertained the American students who had
come along with Barasa. They received two packets of unga Jogoo plus 3 kilos of
wimbi floor for their porridge.
They contributed $13.95, which
will be banked.
