Dale and Sam's Kenya Mission Trip

Dr. Kalra, Pam Neale, R.N and Dr. Braithwaite before going to the Rift Valley (Masai Mara/Serengeti)
Before flying into Nairobi, Kenya we spent 1 1/2 days in London.
Sam with Kenyan children.
We saw cheetahs, lions, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles, wildebeests, elephants and dozens of other animals on safari.
Durung the 2 day safari we traveled in vans.

We had the opportunity being amongst and treating the Maasai in the Serengeti/Masai Mara. They are a pastoral people living off their cattle, sheep and goats.
Hundreds of Masaai line up to see Dale at a one room school.
The Murengiti dispensary was dedicated while we were there.
While patients were being seen Sam often played with the children.
During our safari it was the time for the annual wildebeest migration....a half million of them come into the Masai Mara game reserve. Here crocodiles engorge themselves on tasty wildebeest filet.

This is one of 3 dispensaries we set up among the Kikuyu tribe. We supplied equipment, drugs and trained some of the personnel. The lay nurses await our arrival that day.
Here Dale teaches one of the lay nurses how to suture a laceration.
Here is Dale lecturing lay nurses about obstetrical complications.
After church services the chapel was converted into a temporary clinic in order to treat patients who had never even seen a physician before.
We spent 2 days on a safari in Masai Mara. Here is Dale at the mara river where in a quarter mile segment of the river saw over 100 hippos, the world's most dangerous mammal!

This was a family to whom we made a 'home visit". It was typical of several we made. The man in the green coat is seen with his 4 children. 2 days before they had lost their wife and mother to AIDS. In some groups in Kenya 30-40% are HIV positive.
