TRUSSES ARE RAISED

A weekly update from David Kayando on the clinic expansion progress:

"I want to share the joy of how the dispensary expansion work is coming forth. You can see apart from the rafters which are up, we already have the Phaser Board well placed. The iron sheets will be up as from Tuesday next week.

What a mighty God we serve!!!! Thank you all for your support. This is completely changing the face of the dispensary and giving Kager as a village a completely new look.

For me it is a long time dream. After many years of work with great struggles with the Dispensary, what I thought would not happen and no one ever thought will be there, God at his own time has made it possible. He knows us better than we know ourselves and has great plans for us.

This morning I pray for you to find strength and joy in Him, knowing that he holds the future for you. Be comforted and may his grace be sufficient for you to take you through the valleys and mountains ahead."

WHAT A SURPRISE!!!

One of the things we have seen in the past few months is the Kager Dispensary is now getting increased attention from the Ministry of Health (MOH).  We attribute it to two things: 1) the start of the KEPI Immunizaiton program and the stationing of a MOH nurse (Linet) at the Dispensary 2) the news of the expansion of the Dispensary to become a Regional Health Clinic.

So in addition to the good news on the progress of the Medical Clinic expansion, we have good news to share of some unexpected medical supplies for the village.  Here is what David emailed me this week:

"Greetings to you in Jesus Name. This morning is a suprise blessings to us as Kager Dispensary. The Ministry of Health, through its medicines supply agency, KEMSA (Kenya Medicine Supply Agency), suprised us with medicines and drugs from the government of Kenya.  We have received 26 boxes of different assorted drugs and medicines.

I have not received any official communication from the MOH office, but I hope to. Linet has gone to Homa Bay for a meeting and these were delivered when she had left, but received by David.

The work of the expansion is on and we have the ring beam up as you can see. It is our hope that sometimes next week, we can begin planning on the roofing and then proceed to final finishings.

This is marvelous in our eyes, and it is the Lord's doing."
