Update posted by ngongcWow! the unwatched pot has been boiling over. I am returning from the far reaches of our district - well past the Magadi facility and out to the Kenya-Tanzania border. This is a place the Maasai people inhabit seemingly uninhabitable places. Lions roam here (but I'm told they don't bother humans unless the humans bring violence. After a very hot dusty drive, my colleagues and I reached the most outlying subdistrict hospital. There was a bat problem here, and I did my best not to cringe as a bat flew right around my head for a few revolutions. Also, a goat walked into the head nurse's office as we chatted. The hospital had next to nothing. I can't imagine being a woman in labor trying to make her way to this remote clinic. Ambulance is not exactly an option.
I am so proud of the money raised! Thank you to friends, old and new, and family, tried and true!
