This is the entrance to the school and the clinic where I am volunteering in Lower Kabete, a community outside of Nairobi.
This is the pre-natal education room. Lucy is taking the blood pressure of one of the pregnant woman using the one and only (ghetto) blood pressure cuff. The picture with the Mom breastfeeding is teaching the Mom's to not breast feed if they are HIV positive. Many Mom's will breastfeed regardless because they cannot afford formula or do not want to walk to the nearest health center where they can get it for free.
Here is the one electric cooler we have to keep the vaccinations cold. They deal with what they have.
Here is a finished product. They melt my heart. You can see how narrow the hall ways are in this clinic, on either side of the hall ways are the eights rooms (four on each side) that I described in a previous posting.
I brought some colouring books and crayons (thanks to Raph and Andrea) for the kids to play with while in the waiting room. A lot of them were running around before and it was very loud and hard to hear when doing assessments. They love the colours of the crayons and seem to be very thankful.
Jake, I've been following your blog and it is so inspiring. I'm supporting you and the people in Kenya back home with my well wishes :)
