Kargi, Kenya Medical Team

The ancient Rohinga tribe lives in the village of Kargi in the northern corner of Kenya near Ethiopia. Families of 5 to 10 live in small huts, herding their animals, and have lived off the desert in the same way for hundreds of years. You will fly from Nairobi in a smaller plane to a dirt landing strip where you'll arrive at the Missions of Hope school that Eastside has built over the years. Over 500 children attend the school, receiving an education, 3 meals a day, and--what you will be assisting in--healthcare! This team of medical professionals will treat the extreme nutritional, pre-natal, natal and medical needs of this community. This is a unique opportunity to use your medical training to serve others. Your accommodations will be small rooms with private baths, and you can expect to eat simple meals of rice, vegetables, goat, and chicken.
