We have been remiss in telling you about the wonderful nurses that we have had the privilege to teach/mentor and work alongside. There are 12 nurses that work in the nursery and are also in the neonatal course that we are helping to teach. It has been a joy to see them grow in their knowledge and skills during this course. We have encouraged them to not be afraid to ask questions (even of the doctor) when they don't know and they are gaining the reputation of knowing their "stuff." We enjoyed taking the nurses to Lake Nakuru Game Park on two consecutive Saturdays. For many of them, this was the first time to go on safari and see the beauty of their country "live." Although the park is only a two hour drive north of Kijabe, one of the nurses called it a "no go zone" because of the cost involved. It was our privilege to "treat" them for the trip. It was a great time to relax away from work. It was such fun to watch their smiles and hear their laughter as they saw the animals. We all thoroughly enjoyed the creativity, imagination & beauty of God in His creation.
Lake Nakuru Park is known for it's flamingos and for it's rhino sanctuary.
