We arrived at the clinic on time very easily because it is Kenyan Independence Day, a national holiday celebrating breaking away from British rule, something our two countries share in common. There was very light traffic, we'll see how that changes tomorrow! The setup of the clinic was quick because 5 out of 6 of our team are veterans of previous trips and each of us was able to get a station running and our volunteers trained quickly.
We saw 323 patients, all of whom got thorough eye exams and various services including distance and/or reading glasses, cataract or other surgeries and various medication. We saw many examples during the day of our volunteers making sure each patient was treated with love and respect, even if we couldn't provide a particular care that they might need. It's the end of a very long first day, so here are some pictures to give you an idea of the location we were in and what a functioning clinic looks like. Much more to follow over the coming days and after I return from Kenya next week. Blessings everybody,
