Leaving For Camp
Tomorrow I leave Migori for Kakuma refugee camp in northern Kenya. I originally was meant to go to Dadaab however due to security I was transferred to Kakuma. I will be staying there for 3 weeks and will be working with the WHO on treating malnutrition and malaria. This camp is very secluded so communication for the next couple weeks will be difficult so please bear with me if you need to contact me. I have a phone now for emergencies so if anyone needs to contact me I can be reached at +254 706 365 737. I ironically have been reading the book "What is the What" by Dave Eggars, about a Sudanese lost boy who lands in Kakuma for 5 years. The book is amazing and if you want a look at what life is like there, it's a great place to go. I miss everyone. This will be very hard and it makes me a little nervous but I'm excited to help where I can, even if its small amount.
