Road Trip and Football and Meds, Oh My!

Waiting to pick up Scola for our trip to Kiambu. We went to see Grace, one of the older girls, who is in a boarding school and who we don't get to see very often. It was a beautiful day to be out on the beautiful new bypass road. The best sight, by far, was the motorbiker who had a crate strapped to the back of his vehicle... and his goat riding in the crate, enjoying the view!

We had an hour with Grace at her lunch break, so we looked through her copy of the Cura Yearbook. (She wasn't allowed to keep it at school, but we'll keep it safe for her. Scola and I talked with her teachers about her progress and made sure she has what she needs to get her through her next time home in February!

Back in Cura, the weather had changed, and the fundis were trying to beat the rain. They are installing the two new goal posts on the soccer pitch (thanks to fundraising from Mary Strickler and her students in Virginia!) today and will paint them and install the nets tomorrow. If all goes as planned. Which it sometimes doesn't.

After our meeting yesterday, I had asked Jane, Margaret and Perris got the order together for medicines and supplies and testing kits they need -- and they did not disappoint. With the roughly US$300 I had in donated funds for the Clinic, they were able to put together an order that will cover expenses and equipment for a whole month. This will allow them some buffer, since they usually have to order the required items as needed or as funds come in from patient fees. Such a little amount of money makes an enormous difference!
