A very good day

Today was really a great day here in Nairobi. We woke up this morning and we actually saw the sun. I am not sure about the group, but that was such an inspiration for myself. I was starting to think that the sun did not come out here. I know the first day we arrived you could see the sun shining in a few sparce areas. The sun sure is shining today thou. You still have alot of scattered clouds and the smog around the city. 

The clinic was really alot more uplifting today. We saw the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and I want to say the 6th also today. It was alot easier to get these age groups through the clinic. Scabbies was still present among many of the kids, but you would just have a spot or two. Which if you saw the children from the younger grades was a huge differance. It just goes to show how much healthier the kids who have been a part of the school for many years. I can only imagine the clinic will run quicker and alot easier. Today we did have a case of staph infection on the hand for one girl. But if you saw the living conditions over here, you could trully understand the cause to so many illnesses. 

Now, we left the school just after lunch today. Tonight is going to be our teachers dinner in town. So we had to get back to the guest house and get ready. You could understand also if you saw the traffic here. it could take 2 hours to get somewhere here which would take just 5-10 minutes back home. I wanted to let everyone know that we really did not have much time to do much blogging until we get back from the teachers dinner tonight. Also, we have been short on pictures from yesterday, as well as, today. Most of us are running the clinic. So we just do not have the opportunity to get outside the clinic and snap photos. I really did not think it would be a great idea to take pictures of the kids who needed treatment. Those of us who are not in the clinic are working very hard on teaching. Mark has really taking a huge initiative in helping these kids out. We see kids coming into the clinic with pencils glued to their hands that are about 3 inches long. When you only got one pencil, you run it down to you just can not hold it anymore. I guess they just do not want anyone to take it also. So that is really something that has been heart breaking. Nothing goes to waist out here. 

I did not really mention anything about Janes mission yesterday. She went into town with the music teacher to get some instruments for the school. I know she picked up a guitar and other instruments that I could not even begin to name. I guess it turned into a mission for her. She said the downtown district has the worst traffic. It was sort of like a parking lot with running cars. She was stop and go for many hours just to grab a few music items. 

We had the last 3 members of our team show up today. Carroll and two others left the school at 11 to pick up the Kibalo family. I hear that took quite a while to get to the airport also. Now, we will do our best to get a few pictures up later this evening when we return to the guest house. I will have to walk around and see who has some pictures to put up. Also, we will be leaving early in the morning to head to the Masa Mara. We will be staying in tents I believe near a river. So we will not have internet access. Upon our return, we will have alot of amazing pictures for you. So please check back on monday.
