Freshia Wambui arrives

Among other good things that have been happening with CTC this new year is the arrival of Freshia Wambui. She is the daughter of Agnes Wambui who was brought to our medical camp during the the last doctors' visit, June last year. With serious complications that she had, there was no way of keeping her baby. Our visiting doctors gave her the required first aid and refered her to Kijabe hospital. She has been on and off Kijabe hospital since 27th June 2009 and on 9th December 2009 Freshia was born with a low birthweight of 2.28 pounds. She had to stay in Kijabe Hosptial until January 21st and thankfully Freshia left with a stable weight of 4.5 pounds.
Agnes is thankful to CTC and the medical team for walking with her the long distance of waiting for her new born baby. "There was no way I could be having this baby as I had kept trying and the same situations would arise. Now my son who is nine years old is happy to have a sister. "Praise be to God and thank you CTC for bearing the cost and encouraging me through this journey that was tough, my hope is that Freshia will grow and one day serve the needy in our community" says Agnes.
There has also been good rains and in some areas too heavy but all in all Maai Mahiu is now a green place and the grey dry, ugly picture has disappeared for a while. We are trusting God that things will change for the better. We planted 100 more trees in Ngeya primary school during the last Ubuntu day. Thanks to all the partnering groups for coming out to make "Ubuntu" in Maai Mahiu a reality.
On January 15th, I attended the District Health Stakeholders Forum in Naivasha for all groups and individuals who are directly and indirectly involved in health work. CTC was recognized by these District leaders for the efforts they have been showing in taking care of Maai Mahiu community. Now CTC is officially a member of this forum and with blessings to continue doing health work. We have been given the details and requirements for opening a health clinic and now the ball is on our side to locate for funds that will enable us to meet this need. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we pursue this noble task.
Blessings to all of you our friends and supporters for being there for us. We are praying for a great year of 2010 and desire more of your input to keep us going. Thank you all and wishing you all the best.
