As mentioned in the previous report, we managed to buy a delivery bed for the dispensary auto clave machine Blood pressure machine and drugs especially anti malaria and malaria drugs. The community also had the opportunity to host visitors from USA who supported purchasing of the medical equipment and drugs. They had good times with them and they were very pleased to discover how much they had done towards community health through their support. On the other hand it was a great honour for the community members to host these visitors who has supported them that much. Among the visitors one of them was an optician who conducted eye checkups in the village and he was able to come up with a report on his findings after the exercise. He identified one serious case of a young boy who had eyes problem and one of his eye was almost blind. The boy was referred to Nairobi for further medication attention and early this month an eye surgery has been done. Although the eye might not function properly, the other eye was saved from a similar problem. We intend to conduct a medical camp if we succeed in fundraising. The community is very greatful and through us they have expressed their appreciation. We thank all our partners and well-wishers and we call upon them to continue supporting our communities.
