Offerings collected $1,700.00! Awesome job!!!!
Offerings are going to "Strawberry Fields Clinic", a non-profit clinic in the village of Kiberia, Kenya, Africa. It was opened in 2008 by Kelly Sykes, a medical student from Bethesda UMC. Our offerings will help the clinic provide basic medical care and vaccines to protect the people from diseases.

Deworm 100 community members = $100

Water tank= $43

Thermometer= $15

Tetanus vaccines 1 vial of 10ml 5 doses Kshs 250 ($3)

Oral rehydration salts- 200 packs = $25

500mg Ciprofloxacin ~800Ksh each 100pack or about $10

Polio vaccine 1 vial 10ml 20 doses Kshs ($2)

Weighing scale- 21,250 Ksh = $261

Overall, we really need to restock the pharmacy with medications for the community and children.

Note from Cyprian:

Please Kelly,this is a very humble request which you need to think deeply about it as I believe that it can work with your always efforts and dedication on the ground.Would you please talk politely to the United Methodist Church of Bethesda who have been really very good to us to be on board and be our constant donors and come together with their service to Africa?.I always believe that Christianity with medicine are co-related.In simple terms we can join our clinic with the United Methodist church to serve this very vulnerable community which you really have known to be thirsty of both medication and spiritual needs.

Greet everyone and tell them that I appreciate their humble donations for the clinic.

I promise to remain faithful in my work for ever and the Almighty God be with all of you.

Yours sincerely,

Cyprian Lumumba.
