Let’s talk about mental health, self care and mentorship! ❤️😍🥰
We had a great time training our Kenyan mentors. We talked about taking care of your own mental health so you can take care of others.
“Praise [God] for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to the abundance of his greatness.
Praise him with blast of horn;
praise him with harp and lyre.
Praise him with tambourine and dancing;
Dance, play, football and a lots of fun! ☺️🕺⚽️
On Saturday we got to take all the sponsored children out of the slum and into the nearby park. It was definitely an experience as it was chaotic to get the children there.
On Friday, we had the last of four busy days of free clinics run by Spur Afrika at the K.A.G. school in Kibera, Kenya!
Spur Afrika provided assessment and free basic medications to 583 children and adults during the week, and free basic dental care to 126.
It’s clinic time. 🏥
I feel exhausted but it’s nothing in comparison to children who are unwell and never get any treatment. It is a privilege to access health care.
All too often, the world just isn’t fair.
Today was our first full day in the Kibera informal settlement (slum) of Nairobi, Kenya. The Spur Afrika staff - including Nico, Sylvia, Kijala and Maureen - were doing home visits for some of the children supported by the Spur Afrika program.
Today we had the opportunity and honour to visit some households in the Kibera informal settlement (slum) of Nairobi. It was good to see some of the recent improvements in infrastructure in Kibera, such as the sealing and widening of internal roads.
The relationship between gender and symptoms and conditions potentially aggravated by air pollution is explored amongst school-age children seen during a screening clinic in Kibera, an informal settlement of Nairobi, Kenya.
Spur Afrika mobile clinics were held in January 2020, seeing children from several schools in Kibera, Kenya, and children sponsored by the Spur Afrika Elimsha program. Health activities included medical and dental checks, dental hygiene education and medication education.
