The Great Med Run

Nate and I left Beacon of Hope with a driver to purchase medications for the community health clinic we are holding Wed at the Masai town of Bissil. The 30 minute drive took about 50 minutes due to heavy traffic, potholes, and wayward carts on the road. We finally got to the site only to find out it would take about 75 minutes to get it together. We made a run to our hotel to help load the 20 plus boxes of build-a-backpack supplies to take back to Beacon of Hope. However, we arrived only to find out we just missed them, and all the supplies were loaded. (way to go Mark and Paul). When we returned to get the meds, they weren't ready yet so we waited about 30 minutes more. Finally about 13 large boxes came out, we loaded and off we went back to where we began. All in all, it took about half a day just to buy the meds. Tomorrow we depart for our overnight visit to Bissil. Weds will be a great day as we can really meet the needs of many of our Masai brothers and sisters. As an added bonus, I am hoping to learn from the Masai how to kill a lion with my bare hands. I can't wait!!!
