Rain Rain Rain
The team in Eldoret Kenya is swamped with precipitation at the moment. Dr. Oronje reports that they can't use the little white ambulance regularly because of the conditions of the roads - it takes too much time to keep digging out.

The team has added 4 more HIV positive clients to their rounds, and have been using the ambulance to bring many of them in for medication and checkups at the local hospital. This past week one of the clients, a lady named Josphat, who has been on ARVs (Anti Retro Viral - AIDS medicines) was found dead on her guinea sack that she used as a mattress. Unfortunately she had been taking some alcohol on the side with her ARVs, and her body gave out.
The work continues in earnest tending to the sick and testing for the the presence of HIV. The baby below is being tested for AIDS, and was found positive. The baby will most likely have another 5 to 10 years of life.


A story of Hope!
This is Mary Nyambura. She is a grandmother who is HIV positive and has been sick with TB for the last 3 months. Mary is the caretaker for 5 of her grandchildren - two who lost their parents to AIDS. Mary has been improving significantly over the past several months - due to the daily visits from the Dr. and through the donations of food through Lahash. Thank you to all of you for your role in this community's development! Nick and the doctor ask for prayers for these faces, and especially for the upcoming funeral for Josphat.
