Kijabe_Mission_2013: Scenes and Snapshots
http://kijabemisson2013.blogspot.com/2013/08/scenes-and-snapshots.html
Monday, August 5, 2013. It has been a long week and I am glad for the chance to sleep in Saturday. I went to the mduka (shops) after a late breakfast. A pineapple, large papaya, onions, field peas, avocado, jam, milk, bread and sugar rounded out my shopping list and just about filled my day-pack. I looked out on the Rift Valley, the dark Ngong Hills, the clouds and distant rain showers making it a very dramatic scene. I came to a road and started down it, toward the distant valley. His response was typic...

Kijabe_Mission_2013: Cultural Sunday at Kijabe A.I.C.
http://kijabemisson2013.blogspot.com/2013/08/cultural-sunday-at-kijabe-aic.html
Sunday, August 11, 2013. Cultural Sunday at Kijabe A.I.C. It was a week that came in like a lion and out like a lamb. While the weather in Kijabe is cool, never reaching 77F, the weather in the Nursery is always hot and humid. If it ever gets down to 84F and 60% humidity, I haven’t been able to catch it. Part of this is construction as it is a long masonry room with one small window to the outside world. The down side to the experience is that, as it is in the USA, it is easier to give the baby antibioti...

Links associated with Baptist Medical Centre, Nalerigu. Saturday, January 12, 2008.
