My gosh they have good coffee here! And the fresh mango and eggs. Whew! I could get used to this. Oh yes, I can't forget to mention Tusker beer. I'm good.
So today I return to Masai land, where I spent so much time during previous trips working on the Church of God medical clinics and the Oasis orphanage, that I feel so in love with. Bunch of memories and emotions are percolating.
My good friend, Steve Ndungu, is going to drive me to Kilgoris. 25,000 shs for 3 days driving (about $297 US) The roads are substantially improved and flying there turned out to not be an option anyway. It was good to spend 4 hours with Steve talking about family, Kenya and such.
We arrived in Kilgoris around 5ish and went directly to the Sister's Convent, where they have guest houses I stay at. Waiting for us at the gate was Dr. Robert Mutula, who I got to know previously and become good friends. Robert is an excellent doctor and a man of impeccable integrity, not always easy to find over here. He is the man who convinced me to finance a container to his hospital in Logorian. A government "Sub-district" hospital with about 25 beds. Too small to receive an entire container, so we shared the load with Muthale. Much thanks to Bishop for helping with logistics!!
