20th – Ngecha IDP camp

I did a placement at the hospital again this morning following Dr. Jani around with Hannah. Continued our lesson on renal failure and headed over to surgery to watch an endoscopy. Unfortunately, the endoscopy was delayed to make way for an emergency stabbing/shooting and I doubted we would be welcome to watch.

After lunch I visited an IDP camp in Ngecha, which was a lot more heavily populated than the Word of Faith camp. I helped Christine with a plan of hers to teach children about sharing and acts of kindness by having them make a card decorated with stickers and drawings and then giving their creation to someone else in the class. We were then invited into the house of the pastor (that had set up the camp) by his wife, Jane; he was away for the week. Jane was incredibly generous with the tea she kept us plied with, so much so that we were busting to pee by the time we’d left. We had to wait until we returned to Brackenhurst as neither of us wanted to go near the hole in the ground at Ngecha. The ride back was interesting, as every bump in the road (of which there are tons in Kenya) hurt our bladders and our driver wanted to see how close we could get to Brackenhurst without starting the engine. It’s mostly downhill all the way until about five hundred metres from the front gate. We’ll try and beat our ecord next time.

Right now I’m watching House. Damnit! Why did I only bring the first disc of season one?
