Greetings to our friends at home from the Mercy Care Center Clinic 3 Musketeers, fueled by wonderful help from our EC Glass, North Carolina and Australian assistants, Katherine, Hailey, William, Jeanette, Gina, Will, Kathleen, Sarah, Celia and Carla; and in the pharmacy Yasmine, Kevin and Laura. We have been moved and warmed by the nearly 300 children we have seen in our first three busy mornings of checkups and well- checks, and are amazed by the difference the Mercy Care Center makes in the day to day lives of the children of the Mathare Valley. Special thanks to our guardian angels, Carole and Wayne Brown, and to Julie’s uncles, Father Peter who made a visit to join us from Zambia. We are humbled to be part of this! Kappa Meadows, Karin Truitte, Terry Brennan. PS-- Among our patients have been several Clintons and Kennedys, one Jefferson, a TonyBlair, 2 Elvises and a Barack (certainly more to follow in the future!!)
On other fronts at Mercy Care, we are reading and writing poetry, and memoirs, folding paper cranes, making and serving 800 PB&J’s, taking photos and loving every minute!!!
Love to all!
Internet still proves to be a challenge. But today we visited the Giraffe Reserve and Karen Blixen's house followed by a great Indian meal after the time at MCC, we hope to up load some pictures soon.
Thank you so much for the update. Perhaps a future group visiting the MCC from Lynchburg will meet students named Kappa, Karin, or Terry!... or Hailey, Will, Kevin, Katherine,....
