Another Beautiful Day

Another beautiful day in rural Kenya!  I ventured up to the nursery this morning and was so glad to see many of my nurse friends.  The census in the nursery is very low right now so sadly I  do not think that I will have a twin to care for.  I am going to try and get Marv to deliver a few more babies!  The nurses are thrilled with the new incubator which was purchased by a young North Carolina high school golfer.  She entitled her senior project “Birdies for Babies” and with pledges for every birdie she made during the golf season she was able to raise 22,00.00 dollars! Her generosity will save many young lives!  I wish I could remember her name but it fails me right now. Needless to say, she is a remarkable young woman.  I believe that she got a full ride to attend UVA.

Good news especially for Circle 2 at First Presbyterian!  Your cow is producing good rich quantities of milk; enough to supply Richard's family of nine children and then to sell the extra.  This income has changed their lives!  The twins are now 4 years old and enrolled in what they call baby school.  The oldest daughter is enrolled in a school near the hospital and stays with a local family during the week.  So despite great sadness with the death of their young mother this family is doing well. 

Thank you for the role you played in making this happen.

Thanks to all the folks who have shared in the ministry of this hospital.
