            Yesterday I went into Eldoret to go into the office. I had to write a monthly report of what I have been doing and what not. Back to reality, this is not just fun and games, but a job too. After finishing my report I went to the Ministry of Health to see about female condoms, they're not as widely available as you would hope. You can get them from health centers, but not shops.  They were able to give me one, so I can use it for my demonstrations in the women's groups. Also, while I was waiting, I noticed they had boxes upon boxes of PUR. Which if you recall, is the water cleaning method that I use and do demonstrations about.  I asked about where they are available for the community to buy, and instead of giving me an answer, they gave me 2 boxes! That pretty much made my day! Now I can give the women a sample so they can try it themselves. 

            Afterwards I went to the Ministry of Agriculture to see about vaccinations for little Kibaibai.  The vet offered to come to the house to give Kibaibai the vaccine.  I finished my business in town and we headed to the house. I guess this was my fault, but I should have asked how much the vaccine would cost before we got to my house.  Well Kibaibai got the Parvo vaccine, and it cost me 2000 shillings! Can you say OUCH!  I guess I thought it would be cheap because this is Africa. Well I guessed wrong. If he gets Parvo, I'm suing. I guess he is worth it though.
