Random pictures from Kakamega, Shianda and Shikulu

This is a picture of Azina, while she still has been in hospital. Janika realized that she had some serious problems with her leg, because of which she didn't go to school anymore. So Janika took her to the hospital, where they discovered that she had Osteomyelitis, a bacterial disease what basically is eating her bones (see link for more). She got operated and is now released from hospital. She needs to take medicines. Her father just died two weeks ago, after he suffered long from an untreated wound, as he got shot in the leg during the post-election violence. The mother and Azina now think about how they can repay the money for the operation and the medicine. Kakamega Provincial Hospital is really not the place I'd like to be. When I was myself there, the ground was covered with thick blood and I don't talk just about a few drops of blood, I mean of the size of a towel. Dried-in blood was anyway everywhere, her and there what people have puked out and people walked around in this bar feet. Doctors and nurses didn't care much about gloves and hand sanitation. Visiting the ward of Azina a few times was not of inspiring atmosphere either. The long room hat two rows of beds, 24 all in all. Azina shared her bed with another woman. Basically, I guess there were more than 30 people in this ward.
