The First Week

This is the entrance to Josh's HIV Centre
Don's the jolly green giant around here!

The only view of the Nairobi plain from this restaurant is from the men's bathroom. 

Being Don, he had to help this guy with his stuck cart.

We went here to do an 'Outreach' (Josh's staff put on an outside plays for the locals breaking down barriers on sex and HIV.

We set up a mobile testing centre, run out of tents, along the main highway where all the truckers come for hookers.
This adorable little girl was waiting for her mother while Don tested her in the tent. It was Donnie's 1st test ever. She was positive for HIV.

Left is Jemma, a brand new volunteer. She came with Nikki on the right, from Edmonton. They were both basically 'parachuted' in to the centre by a volunteer organization that charges volunteers for placements. The girl in the middle is Debra, a friend of Josh's mom's from Norwood, who flew out with us.

A test being administered.

  3. Great Pictures! They seem to tell stories. I really like the picture of the child holding the child and the little kid under the food stand.
