Nairobi Streets - a story


On the 17th  of January, we visited one of the bases in an alleyway.  Along 3rd street we discovered that one of the survivors there by name Robert  Okwemba (nickname: Ndui) was suffering from burns which was caused by fire.  On  4th January while he was asleep he lit a candle and  forgot to put it off.  At around midnight he was woken by smell of smoke and noise from the neighbors  who  helped  a lot by pouring water on his plastic and paper house. With this information we helped him by referring him to a nearby clinic.  MITS will have to settle his bills. The victim gets a lot of help from his friend named Joshua  who does a lot by cleaning him and fetching all needed drugs as prescribed  by the doctor. Currently he is faring on very well as he continues with the medication.
