INGENIOUS SHOWER AT COMMUNITY HEALTH TRAINING CENTER

This has been a very tiring day with hours of travel over rough roads.  When we left Sentrim Mara, we again spent some time in the game preserve in hopes of locating a rhinoceros.  We were unsuccessful.  However, we did see some of the same animals already mentioned.  We were extremely close to a couple of elephants which kept us entertained for several minutes.  The only new animal we saw was an ostrich at a distance.  Then we headed over very rough and rutted roads seemingly about half of the way to Tenwek Hospital.  We were warmly greeted by Jeff and Christine Stanfield in their home before lunch in a staff dining area.  Christine and Jeff and Dr. Mary Hermiz gave an orientation and tour of the Nursing School before Jeff took us on a tour of Tenwek Hospital.  Jeff and Christine, Kasey Englert, and I walked some more down to the dam on the river where the hydroelectric plant is located.  Everything near Tenwek is on a hill which means a lot of up and down walking.  We were treated to supper near our quarters in the Community Health Training Center located above the dam.  Jeff shared a recently completed video of the work being done here at Tenwek Hospital and in the surrounding communities.  Being very exhausted, most retired early.  Showering here is a new experience using a bucket with a shower head.  The bucket on a rope is raised after filling it with water that is heated outside with a wood burner.  This training facility is used to train the Kenyans how they may improve their situation back in their own communities.
