· Serving with Life Community Church (LCC) the free medical clinic held Saturday, June 23rd for St.
Catherine’s Children Home & School was a huge success!
Over 200 children saw a Doctor, were de-wormed and received
medicine they could otherwise not afford. Best of all, we thank God for the men
from LCC who prayed with each child and adult that came through the clinic and
for how the love of Christ was shared in a tangible way.
St. Catherine's is located in the Kibera slum and operates a home for 25 orphans and a school for 265 students. The blue building on the right is where we held the clinic. This building recently had a second floor added and is used for the school and Sunday church services.
The teachers and church volunteers had the children well organized by class. The foot of the steps was the first "waiting line"...followed by a very small "waiting room" in a hallway.
The older kids helped set up the rooms we used by carrying the mattresses, tables & chairs upstairs.
Simple rooms with the bare necessities were turned into doctor's offices!

The de-worming station.
Each child was given de-worming tablets.
The longest lines of the day were in the pharmacy.
Gotta love this expression!
I worked with Pharmacist Louise. She was a great teacher...
especially in helping me read the Doctors writing!
After completing the medical part of the clinic
it was time for Prayer...
and some fun...
.....both an important part of balanced life!
Twyla Brickman was a great clown. She entertained children,
adults & even passers by!
What a blessing to see the men from Life Community Church
pray for each child and teacher that came to the clinic!
Much thanks to Joanna for faithfully taking pictures through out the day...
.... and to Zippy from Life Community Church's Compassion Ministry
for her leadership in organizing the clinic. You can see by her smile she loves serving!
