We've completed two medical clinics so far this year - one at the Open Arms village where we served a record number of people from the community - over 1,000! We also had a great clinic two weeks later in Kambi Teso and saw over 1500 people there. Both teams were really fun. The village team included doctors and nurses from the US that all had a great time running the clinic - hope they all come back next year! I'll never get tired of doing these clinics. The next clinic starts in five days in Kipkaren slum! 
The pharmacy. We were really blessed in pharmacy this year - GREAT volunteers, a big space, and somehow a perfect location - we had a nice breeze when it was hot and sunny and somehow still stayed dry when it was down pouring!
Our awesome nurse's station - whatever you need - wound dressings, injections, blood glucose, ear syringing, pregnancy tests, etc, etc - We had it all! (ok, so it's not heart surgery, but pretty good for a tent in a field!) This year the station was staffed by Jane, a Kenyan nurse who is practicing in the UK and was excited to join Open Arms and give back to her community. 
This year we had some of the kids from our village come volunteer at the medical clinic. I gave one of them my camera for a while and he came back with this photo! ha!

This baby is holding his medicine in one hand and his prescription slip in the other. LOVE his hair! =)
