March 17th, Ashley Peatfield writes from Funzi
"Following the opening of the Bodo clinic I have been making sure that the most acute and threatening cases are receiving further attention . The man who didn,t have £130 to undergo vital abdominal surgery was taken by us to have x rays in Mombasa. Today he will take this to Msembweni and a date for his operation will be set. Without this intervention his months of discomfort and dependency on a catheter would have been endless .
Meanwhile we got powerful drugs for the tailor Shee Mohammed whose highly septic leg has been getting progressivley worse and potentially life threatening . Our nurse John will also be visiting him each day to treat and dress the wounds. Finally, the 9 year old boy with weeping and angry eyes was taken by me to the Kwale Eye Centre . It's English founder, Doctor Helen, agreed to see me. She examined the child and said he had a condition which was painful and aggressive. Left it could have left him eventually blind . His treatment and recovery starts here.
I think the stories speak for themselves and anyone who has donated to us or makes a regular contribution should feel proud of what they have made possible ."
Thank you,
Ashley
