Health Care means Life

Hi

We are having trouble getting images on to the blogspot, but otherwise things are moving ahead. Cathy has looked into what we need for wig making and it seems that we need bundles of tissue paper and a rose box. We also need to see about getting battery operated shearers. If anyone has a line on any of these - please let one of us know.

There is plenty of work to do to get ready for the event, including getting really clear information from Osopet, Nissi and KCYP about the potential impact of an emergency Health Care Fund. I know that donations made to health care, both while I was traveling in Kenya, and for the positive women in the KCYP Nutrition project, kept people alive. Sadly, the converse is also true. When health care needs arise and someone can't get to care, they have died. We have now lost three women in Kibera. Rose died at the end of March.

But on a brighter note - none of the positive children under the Osopet Pediatric Care Project have died. And those children are looking happy and brightly towards a future. More later. Love -peg
