The children of the Nice View Children's Village and the Nice View Trust Foundation in Kenya wish their godparents, friends and supporters Happy Easter and hope that you all stay healthy! They also thank you for not forgetting them.
Mshila is currently at home for 6 weeks. The tendon was successfully repaired and the skin transplanted. In the meantime, a plate has already been inserted and bones have been wired (pieces of bone are missing).
The corona virus has unfortunately also reached Kenya. The government responded immediately. Schools, universities, hotels, restaurants, etc. are closed and the distance rule applies.
Nine years have passed since the film team visited Nice View in 2011. Petra Hölge, Torsten Winkler & Holger Schüppel once again accompanied the life and development of the projects on the south coast of Kenya with the camera .... Here is a foretaste .....
After the surgery in Nairobi, Mshila's wound was treated with vacuum sealing for 8 days – originally a 3-day treatment was prescribed, then another 5 days were added. Today the wound looks quite good, but another skin graft as well as a tendon repair will be necessary.
A container, presumably the last one, is to be shipped to Kenya this year to deliver urgently needed aid supplies and hopefully also new batteries as well as a battery inverter for the solar system.
On February 10, a terrible accident occurred in Kenya. Mshila, a Nice View employee since the early days of the 20-year-old children's village, injured his foot very badly while cutting down trees.
In January 2020 the FLMH team from Berlin, Germany, visited the Nice View Gratitude Academy for the second time. As in 2019, students were actively supported for one week to learn how to work with different media as "Nice View Reporters".
End of November Marcel contacted us to ask if we could shoot a new image film for the website as well as some promotional clips about the Nice View clinic and school. He also wanted English versions that would be posted on Facebook in Kenya for instance.
Unfortunately, the creation of new and especially the copying of the existing content took more time than originally thought. We still have to work on the English version in particular and hope for your understanding.
Thanks to an approved grant application of Sternstunden and with the support of the partner association Ubele (https://ubele.ch/) in Switzerland, the conversion / expansion of the main kitchen could be tackled.
Dr. Harald C. Gäckle from Ulm, together with his team, recorded songs professionally in the children’s village in the summer and shot the corresponding music videos.
After Kahindi had a three-week contract with his former teacher as a painter, and during that time also lived in Diani, he decided to move out and stand on his own two feet.
On 18 August, the Nice View Clinic was again able to organize a Medical Camp (day of action where medical advice and treatments are offered free of charge).
