We have had a good week at shinners centre. The children who are sickly and sometimes not taken to hospital by their guardians, have been well in the week. You find that a child is ailing,but instead taken to either the local herbalist or diviner. It is a big problem in the slum and reason being, the guardians are old, sickly and illiterate grandmothers. In such cases, the teachers have to do a follow up and make sure they are taken to New Nyanza provincial hospital. Here they receive the best care , infact children below 5 years are attended to without a fee.

We had a good week and i say so because the children who are the backbone of the project were fine and happy. The week was alittle bit encouraging as we managed to sell one or two things and meet new people too. Mathew came in with his wife Nelly and Milly who is here with her boyfriend who has signed a contract with the Danish embassy for 2 years. She requested if she could volunteer her services at shinners as she loved the place and loved the kids too.
