Thursday and Friday update

Thursday: Today we went to Beacon of Hope, an organization situated in the Kware slum in Nairobi. They have a school, vocational school (which includes beauty school, farming, weaving, plumbing and sewing). They have a clinic and do home visits. We really enjoyed our day there and shopping in their store. Now it's time to pack and get ready to board the train bright and early tomorrow.

Friday: Today we were up early with breakfast at 6:30 am. We boarded the brand new train at 8 am and were able to see zebras, giraffes, elephants, gazelles and small scattered villages as we went along-the trip was 4 hours. We enjoyed talking to other passengers on the plane, which made the time go by faster. We toured the local hospital where we will be working for the next few days. We will try and post pictures tomorrow. Everyone is doing well. Some are homesick, but we have become a team and are enjoying each unique personality.

Tomorrow we will be working in the hospital. There is one scheduled c-section that the students will be able to observe and the rest of the team will be staffing the wards.
