The boy below is called kennedy. We knew about him before going to Kabula when we visited the BOHAPO website. This boy was bow-legged and got an operation to get it fixed. Now he can walk properly. Still, Edwin told us it hadn't been easy for him to get better since he got a couple of unsuccessful operations beforehand.

We also visited this little boy. His name is Bright, he is 6 years old and he is very sick. We talked with his family to know more about his condition. He has a heart problem and a disease called sickle cell. It affects the red blood cells and it is really painful.
We brought him some presents but obviously, he couldn't pay that much attention to it.
He got checked up in the hospital and he'd already got some blood transfusions. The cost of the operation has been estimated at $ 5700.
He needs our help. He deserves a chance so if you want to make a donation, please contact us.

Antoher day, on the way to Kitale to bring a little girl to a mobile clinic.
Her name is Michelle and she has the same condition as Kennedy had before. The operation to get the bow-legged fixed is not that expensive so we could bring her and her mother to a mobile clinic to get an appointment for an operation. The clinic goes to different places in the country and is available once a month. They mainly check sick children and people there and give them appointments at the hospital when needed. We saw a lot of different conditions affecting children; mainly bow-legged and kids with big heads. All the doctors there are volunteers and even if more places like this would be needed, they really are making a great job.
