Log Entry 10

Another week of mixed emotions. Yesterday we traveled by bus to Nairobi from Migori. We said our goodbye's to all of our new friends in Migori.  Migori had become our home away from home and it felt a little strange to leave.

Alice (left) and Marcelline (right). Alice was a mentor for all of us.
She is a clinical officer who works in anesthesia. She is applying
 to medical school and she will make an outstanding physician. Marcelline was
my house mom and took great care of me while I was in Bware and all of the students
while we were in Homa Bay.

This is Don and his son. Don was another clinical officer who taught
 us a lot while we were at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Migori.  Everyone found
 him to be very knowledgeable and you would be hard pressed to find a kinder man.

The tailor who made us all clothes. He is very good at what he does and is also very kind.

The sunset the night before we left Migori.

The same evening.

On Friday we had our final meeting with the community leaders in Bware. We ate good food, discussed our findings, exchanged feedback, and presented a few more gifts to the Bware community. It was a good meeting, with several instances where the ladies got up and started singing and dancing. 

I thought the seven hour bus ride back to Nairobi was about as pleasant as a seven hour bus ride can be. I always enjoy seeing the Kenyan countryside. 

Everyone is excited because this morning we all leave to go on safari at Masai Mara.
