Off loading sand
A short clip of how sand is off loaded for a project we are currently working on. Grandma Pauline's house (mud construction) had fallen apart and we are building her a new home constructed with stone. [fbvideo...
Jiggers…ugh!
Oh how I wish I could say jiggers are eradicated but that is simply not the case. We continue to push for more education on how to prevent and treat this menace but in the meantime our C4KK outreach team had yet another jigger treatment program at a local primary...
Do you know?
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, but I know what I can do....James Kirk Do you ever fell this way? I know I do. With the overwhelming needs here in Kenya it sometimes stops me in my tracks and I don't know what I'm supposed to do. But I do know what I can do...

Another school and more jiggers
Whoa, what a day! We went to Ebusiralo Primary School to do jigger treatments and treated 48 people. When people hear of a "jigger program" they figure a doctor will be there and therefore come with other ailments. Dr. Raphael was with us today and did some...
