Doctor Benta

After Vincent had told me about Benta's ambition to become a doctor, a nursery school here in the UK has offered me some toys, including a "doctor kit" for the kids in Kisii - coincidence, or have they been reading this blog?

I can imagine Benta's face if I were to give her a doctor's kit. And I can already hear the babble of delight. Sorry, to me it is babble, she speaks Swahili and I don't. But it would be delightful babble. I am quite used to African kids getting over-excited and talking in joined-up scribble.

My only concern is that I am collecting rather a lot to take with me. I get the impression that things like my clothes will be at a low priority. Still, who needs a lot of clothes in Kenya?
