Wednesday Aug 27th
Was up bright and early - early enough to catch Hillary Clinton's speech! OK, that's enough political talk for the day....
I ate breakfast and headed out for a very busy day. Here and there Ogetcha and I went. We stopped in at Sarova to pay for our lodging for one night in the Mara - that was the most exciting part of the day! Let me go back a bit here and catch you all up -
Jim Anderson and his wife sponsor two girls here in Kenya for MDP. Jim is a RN and works for Cal-Ore Life Flight which is a ground and air ambulance service. They serve the Northern California and Southern Oregon communities with advanced life support ambulances. The ground units are full paramedic ambulances and the 5 air ambulances are staffed with RN's. They service any hospital in the 7 western States to transport critical patients to higher levels of care and special needs. Jim is a RN and is coming on this mission trip.w\When Cal-Ore found out they offered him a External Defibrillator with an EKG monitor! It's worth about $6000! We were thrilled needless to say - and have decided to donate it to Mara Sarova which is a hotel (lodge) in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. They have on staff there a clinician that will be able to use it for those at the hotel if needed and the surrounding communities.
Anyhow to make a long story short the head office of Sarova spent sometime today visiting with me and are VERY excited about the donation. Apparently they are going all out with publicity and have invited the Park Warden, the Chief from the local area,and several Maasai from the community to come for the presentation which will be Tuesday Sept 2 at 9am. I told them we might be a little late if on the way there we come across Cheetahs making a kill, but they said they would understand if that happened.
I am hoping that James Nanka, the Narok District Lay Coordinator for MDP can be there and Ogoti Kenani our Kenyan Administrator. The publicity for MDP is great - but more important by far is the fact that because of the generosity of Cal-Ore Life Flight we are able to be a part of making a difference in a very needy community, and that lives will be saved because someone cared enough to give of their resources.
A special thank you goes out from MDP to Cal-Ore Life Flight and to Jim Anderson and his family! You have made a huge difference - and I don't ever think you will understand just how big of a difference you made.
You know it - God is good all the time!
