Sadness, Gratitude, Hope

So sad to see someone you get used to live with and share daily struggles - go back to Poland. Today in a hour time we will have a short ceremony combined with lunch at health center, bidding farewell to Zosia, a volunteer nurse from Humanitarian Aid Foundation 'Redemptoris Missio', who lived with us and worked in Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Health Center for six months since October last year till now...

New Life

Last week was truly a new life welcoming week long fiesta! Poor Sister Grace, our health center administrator and midwife by profession, helped by other sisters and nurses from the Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Health Center in Kiabakari, was rushing daily back to work prompted by anxious people or watchmen from the facility coming to the mission asking for help...expecting mothers were being brought to the gate of the health center and on one occasion - a mum-to-be was left all alone at the gate by a bodaboda rider, as she came herself by motorcycle to deliver a baby!

Sleepless in Mombasa

Since I cannot sleep anymore tonight as the war with mosquitoes continues to rage on, I went down the memory lane, triggered by the keywords - malaria, drugs, health...The mental path led me this time to our health center in Kiabakari.
