Bill and Sheila working with a portable dental unit donated by Suwannee Dental Care.  Still more teeth must be pulled than can be repaired but what a blessing to those that can be saved.

You could say this is downtown Morijo
This is the central water supply for Morijo.

It may seem primitive but it is good water.  We hope to get such water in Olmekenyu but with thousands in need there our supply is going to have to be many times the flow.

In Morijo a motorcycle is the way to go for one or two.  John Leshao was dreaming of such a bike just a few years ago.  Upon finally saving up enough from his work in the Massai Mara, he has found the bike not only gets him around but has served as a local ambulance to get to the nearest hospital which is not near at all!
Early morning in Morijo and it is tea time...
John's cattle pen to keep the cows and goats and lambs safe from lions and hyena's in the night.  When out in the bush they can do nothing but stand watch over the animals.  But the lion is afraid of the Massai and too the hyena, so as long as the shepherd doesn't sleep they are all ok.
