Arrived in Kijabe!

After a long couple of days of travel I have finally arrived at my home for the next two weeks, Kijabe, Kenya! There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the fact that I am not a doctor (most of their visiting guests are) so I was even greeted at the airport with this sign...

The CURE hospital (where I am at) is very small compared to the "large" general hospital next door. We only have 30 beds, Monday's are a quiet day for rehab, we saw 3 kiddos today. On Wednesday and Friday they run clinics which seem like it will be much steadier. The rehab department consists of Elvis, a Kenyan trained OT. It was interesting to talk with him a bit today about what OT means in Kenya and why he choose this profession, etc. I think my splinting skills are really going to improve over the next two weeks. There is also a brace making workshop where I am looking forward to spending some time.

My accommodations are great, but I am planning to move tomorrow so I can stay with my friend Leah who is also working here. But my current place sits on the very edge of the Rift Valley which is beautiful! I may have to come down here to hang out just for the views.

More to come! I hope all of you are well!
