Mama Sarah

Two days a week I go to Sister Freda's Hospital, and what we do there looks different every time. The place is incredible, probably because Sister Freda is incredible. For the past couple weeks there has been a patient there named Sarah. She is super old, doesn't know or care how old she is. She's Turkana, a tribe known for its conflict and harshness. When she came to the hospital she was dying of malnutrition and dehydration, wasn't talking or really moving. This last week she has totally turned the corner.  Turns out she speaks english, loves to sing, make jokes, and gives us lots of attitude.  The video below is of this face she makes that CRACKS us all up, so she does it a lot. Hopefully you'll think its funny and not scary...
