Pictures as promised!

I was a drug trafficker to Kenya, well medical supplies actually...to Nyando District Hospital, where they are lacking medical supplies resulting in doctors not wanting to work there

Yay to pedialyte coming to Kenya!

Caution tape on the door before our plane takes off!

Bednet with holes, aka mosquito funnel!

Simon and Peter who took care of me in Nairobi

When we met with Chandi to OK Chanda Women's Group to see how we can work together to administer the maternal/child health surveys in their village (they are some of the most amazing and inspiring women I have ever met!)


And then we danced! (they did a traditional Luo song/dance to show appreciation in our efforts)

Women's Group Chairperson showing the bags in progress the women make to generate extra income (20 shilling is about the value of a penny - that's how much they sell the bags for, they also handmake ropes used to tie the farm animals for only 10 shillings)

Kokech village (where I am staying)


Woman with a fish from the local market (it was still alive!)

Just a day in the life of a Kokech resident (the viewpoint is from the house I was staying in)
