A Letter from Dr. Elisee

Below is a letter received recently from Dr. Elisee. It gives you an idea of the work that he and the staff at Kibimba Hospital are doing for themselves:

Dear Mae and David Kellum,

greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus. I am very happy to know that you plan to send another container to us in November.We will have a meeting of our staff this week, to determine all the needs of our hospital. I will let you know quickly the list of our needs in the end of this week.

About the hospital line from the transformer to the hospital, I think that it is possible, it is not a big problem. One person who works in REGIDESO at Gitega, told me that we need a big electricity meter which cost 2000$.

About our buildings , we will start to put the framing in the end of this week, tomorrow we will buy sheet metal because today, we have a holiday in our country because of communal elections. Last week , we started to built a building for doctor’s and nurse’s consultations. We finished to built a new mortuary.

Our laboratory has now enough equipment.Thank you very much for all things you are doing for us. May God bless you.

Yours Dr NAHIMANA Elisée

Here are some pictures that Dr. Elisee sent as well:

The picture of the Doctors and nurses building. We think they will be moving the clinic up there to free up some of the rooms in the other bulding. It is located just above the area where they parked the cars.

The Lab

Pediatric building. We understand that it is just accross from the maternity building.

The morgue. David Kellum thinks that is down near the road. It looks like it is close to the brick wall that they built.
