Team I: Ann and Katie Smith and Dr. Matlak depart tomorrow for Kenya while Team II will depart on Saturday. Team II members are: Nate Kaiser, Danna and Kira Herden, Sherry and Katie Boyack, Scott and Livia Krzeminski, Anita Kaiser, and Jill and Piper Hayward. We are frantically getting all the trunks packed and making all the arrangements for our families that are left behind.
Great News: One of the children in the Transmara Children's Home underwent surgery yesterday to correct a deformed foot and hand. His name is Noah and his surgery was a success! We are so blessed that he had such a wonderfully skilled doctor! Now he begins the healing process and our team will be there with him to bring him back to Trans Mara from Kijabe. We are thrilled to be a part of such a momentous occasion in the life of this child! Please pray for a thorough and speedy healing of his foot. Many of you may know this already, but we are especially thankful for the family that stepped forward to pay for his surgery, as well as, his monthly sponsor (Gregory-age 11!) who had his classmates write get-well letters! Knowing that we are partnering with so many selfless and generous people is so encouraging!
We are still working to secure free immunizations for all the children through the Kenyan Ministry of Health. These children need basic immunizations and since we are bringing several RN's and Dr. Matlak with us this would be the perfect timing to get them done. As a small organization we could not afford to pay what the pharmacy was requiring, so stay tuned for updates on that!
