On the Ward

We are working to sort our pictures and stories so we can tell you about our Kenya 19 trip.
The hospital context–

The main ward at CURE Kijabe consists of four open rooms, each containing six beds. During our week at CURE this ward was at full occupancy with one mother and one child to each bed. During morning and evening rounds members of the team had the opportunity to catch up with the mothers and babies and get a glimpse of life on the ward. While stress and fatigue are natural under such living conditions, we were impressed by the mothers and children demonstrating friendliness, support, and steadfastness in their care for one another. 

Gloria and Munrina became fast friends during their week at the hospital.

  • Joseph loved the camera, though was sometimes a bit camera shy.
  • Baby Grace was always friendly and sweet – especially to anyone holding a smartphone!
