This past weekend, I finally mustered up enough energy to walk around Tenwek just for the sake of taking a walk and visited the Tenwek hydroelectric dam and waterfall.
Tenwek Hospital is powered by a hydroelectric dam that was constructed between 1984-86. It replaced the previously less reliable and more expensive diesal generator in 1987. The dam was constructed just up river from the waterfall - a very peaceful and beautiful part of Tenwek to visit.

| For all the big game hunters out there- this is the most exciting game I've seen around Tenwek! |
I also wanted to say another thanks to everyone who has been sending cards, packages, emails and comments on the blog.
I cannot tell you how awesome and uplifting it has been!
Recently, I received a package that had goodies for me and even a little something for Teddy......So, this picture is his way of saying thanks too!
Aww, Teddy looks so dignified! What a stud! Would so love to visit you at Tenwek sometime!
