It smelled like earth and tasted of chai. It dressed in bright fabrics and knew the meaning of hospitality. It has lively music and busy streets, with chapatti on every corner and some of the best mangos around. Kenya. It was a place I’d never been, which felt new and exciting, but it also brought memories with it.

Dr. Chad Stephens had his work cut out for him when he agreed to visit our Eastleigh Centre and provide medical aid to street kids. Many children on the streets have dire needs—gangrene, raw flesh, wounds that are three years old, cleaned and dressed, again. Due to lack of access to clean facilities or knowledge of proper wound care, they'll return to the centre with these same festering wounds multiple times. Our Eastleigh Centre staff have basic first aid training and can provide wound care, but it is rare for a doctor to visit the centre.
