Kenyan Mission Trip

Health
Location Category: International
Location: Nakuru, Kenya
Country: Kenya
Starts: 10/7/2009 Ends: 10/19/2009
We will do so work in Nakuru on a church we worked on last year.  Also possibly VBS etc at the church.  We are in the process of developing relationships at Salgaa.  This is a staging area for Kenyan missionaries to be sent out all over Kenya and East Africa.  Very exciting place and great vision.  We will also do some work with children in Nairobi.  We have a missionary there who is a nurse and works with a variety of settings.  We are really looking for a dentist to come and we  currently have a couple of nurses, PT and a dental hygenist.
