On some very rough roads, we made our way to the Niakarra Clinic. Please check out the Rehab Blog for more details on the Clinic day.
Roger was very popular with his power drill. Many of the locals had never used one before.
Women come to the clinic to get water and carry it back to their homes many Kilometers away
Lane looks happy. I think she got a good deal after a long and exhausting day.

We then had a ground breaking ceremony for the Ken Hill Physiotherapy center. Karen Leung and Marcia Hill spoke on the need for this center and the care it would provide.
Former students of Nyaburi school, including Janet, spoke on the success in their lives thanks to the school. Janet looked beautiful and gave a very touching speech.
We also celebrated 24 years of dedicated service from Bernard Opiyo to the children of Nyaburi school. Bernard has been instrumental in the success of the school and its students.

We started the day with a nice walk through the village to see the newly repaired and painted Nyangajo Bridge. Many people have died trying to cross the river so with the help of Pat Romerman who designed the bridge (picture on the left) and the MacPhail family financed its construction, people in the community can now cross safety.

Today I went shopping with Mrs. Beatrice Limo to purchase shoes with a donation from the Anderson family. We purchased eighty-seven pairs of shoes to help those without. We then went to Mrs. Limo’s shop to look at her income-generating sweater project. A Better World is working with Mrs. Limo to ensure that every child in need receives a sweater. Many children come from very poor families and also wear the sweaters to bed at night to keep warm. Mrs. Limo hires local women to knit and sew sweaters for schools in the area. These women would otherwise be going out to the forest and carrying heavy lumber on their back to be sold for about dollar a bundle. The cost of the sweater, which is excellent quality, is between seven dollars and twelve dollars, with the local ladies making an income for every sweater they produce.

We started off our day with a visit to Janet’s shop. Janet is such an amazing young woman. She fell into a fire at age four and faces many challenges, but she now owns a sewing shop and a hair salon. She is proud of her achievements and wanted to have her picture taken with us all.

We started our day with a drive to the Gilgil school to distribute school uniforms gifted by a generous A Better World donor. The students were so excited. Many of them have never had a new uniform. We then visited Regina who cares for 5 disabled children in her home. We were all touched by the love she has for these children.
