In November 2011, Sue, Tim's sister, travelled to Kenya and was able to make a visit to the clinic at Endau.  She travelled with Eric and Millicent, who head up Pamoja's work at Magina, but who had not previously visited Endau.  The party was completed by Francis, their excellent driver on the long trip from Nairobi.  The journey from Nairobi as far as Kitui is on good roads, but the last 3 hours are on dirt roads into a very remote region.  

The main purpose of the trip was to see the clinic in action, meeting Stephen the nurse and the local people who use the clinic.  The original idea was that the group would see a 'normal' day - but this being Kenya, that was never going to happen!  Having spent the night in the local hotel (rooms complete with en-suite...but not quite as we know it in UK!), Sue, Millicent, Eric and Francis drove out to the clinic in the morning to find that word of their arrival had spread and a large group of people had gathered.  Eric gave a message from the Bible to the assembled company, and Millicent and Sue spoke to individuals about what the clinic meant to them.  Many testified of the help they had received, speaking warmly of the Christian care and good treatment they received from Stephen.  During that day, Sue (a qualified UK nurse) and Stephen saw over 60 patients!

Please pray for Stephen in his work at Endau.  He is a young man, quiet and gentle, who is doing a good job in difficult circumstances.  He regularly sends reports back to UK Trustees on the patients he has treated, but he was much encouraged that Pamoja people had been able to visit him where he works.  As I have written in previous posts, there is still a need for regular funding for the work at Endau.  If you are able to give, your donation will be much appreciated.
