He also wants to study homoeopathy so we are currently looking for sponsorship for him to join our former administrator, Irene at homoeopathy school in Kwale, Kenya. 

Vivien came to volunteer for 3 months originally, but ended up staying for a year!

She has left us just recently but rumour has it that Africa has ruined the rest of the world for her and she'll be back in January 2012!

Needless to say we are thrilled, as are her patients...
