Light School and Feeding Station

Giving medicine for a very bad cough



Located in the town of Kakamega, Light was  the second feeding station we visited.  It was the first one where we were together with the medical team from Rock Creek Church.  In addition to sharing a Bible story, crafts and our usual fun the team was able to minister to some physical needs.  Children were given de-worming medicine and treated for a variety of illnesses. 

Fungal infections and lice
are a common problem.



One of the teachers translates instructions to the mother of this very sick little girl.  She
had a fever of 105. The medical team was
able to give her Tylenol to bring down her fever and antibiotics to help her little body fight off the infection.



In the afternoon the feeding station was transformed into a medical clinic for the surrounding community. 

Eye infections were another common problem.

While the medical team worked, the rest of the team entertained the kids (and adults) with coloring pages.

You're never too old to color!
We started handing out coloring sheets and crayons to the kids who were waiting with their parents to see the medical team.  We quickly realized that the adults didn't want to miss out on the fun.  Whether they were reliving a sweet childhood memory or enjoying it for the first time, there were lots of smiles and giggles.  The kids had fun too.
