THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!!! The fundraising came to a total of $1100!! I am so grateful for all the contributions that have been made and for all the generosity! The funds will be making (what I hope to be) a huge difference at Shibwe Sub-District Hospital and for the people of Kakamega. Thank you, thank you!
In other news:
- Went on FSD’s ‘midterm retreat’ this past weekend with all 16 interns. We hiked to Crater Lake on Friday, and on Saturday biked 30 km in Hell’s Gate Park to a beautiful gourge. The weekend ended Saturday night with MILLIONS of Siafu ants invading our campsite (we were camping outdoors in two-person tents). The ants completely covered the tents that you could not even see the zipper! These ants are only found in East Africa and look almost like scorpions. They bite people by sticking their entire head into your skin and must be pulled out. (I did not get bit because I was perfectly happy to leave my stuff in the tent overnight.) It was GROSS. Needless to say, we slept elsewhere for the night.
- South Sudan is soon to be the newest country in Africa on Saturday, July 9!! Exciting news here (one of the interns is even courageously taking a matatu all the way to Sudan to be there on Saturday!).
Here is a picture of the group in front of Crater Lake and a picture of the gourge:
