Pokot

Yesterday we went to an area of Kenya called Pokot. Its about 2 hours away from Kitale, on your way to Turkana. We went to visit a school and a church out there, as well as have Freda provide her medical services



This is Pokot...



This is Hannah from Rwanda, she and her brother are staying with us for the next month or so.


Katie and her daughter Abbey led the kids in some dancing


Steve thought he was so clever hiding the ball in his shirt, I thought it was just an infection...


After Steve talked and Katies dancing we went down to a field to play some games before Freda had her clinic





Races






Freda's Staff


The giant tree where Freda's clinic was held


The de-worming line



Jaime got timely marriage advice from Freed's during the clinic, eventhough hes not married yet...



Then we visited a church down the road where they met outside. It was a really beautiful setting...except for when I had an allergic reaction to a bug that bit my ass in the middle of the service

I was there! So amazing...
it poured rain the day we were there. That tree was our umbrella all day.
THAT was one of my best days in Kenya--helping everyone get the glasses they needed!!
