What should I do with the cow?
I was done with my work for the day. As was my habit before leaving the hospital, I tidied my desk and office, walked through the patient ward and spoke the nurse in charge, said “good night” to the receptionist, and then spoke with the security guard on my way out of the building.

On my long return trip, over the course of two weeks, I was to go to Kijabe and the CURE hospital there for one week and then bus to Uganda and Mbale’s CURE hospital for my final few days there prior to flying out of Entebbe, Uganda. While in Kijabe, I organised with Pastor Amandui, my colleague there in collecting stories, to go and see a child named David. We had visited him once before at the New Hope Children’s Center, an orphanage in Limuru, about 13 miles from Kijabe. He was taken in there along with his mother after some serious bouts of violence across Kenya (following the elections in 2008) that left him without a father and two brothers.
