One of the charities we supported this year was the King Fahd Memorial Hospital at Lamu, in Kenya. Two of our Officers, Viviana and Liam Devlin, visited it in July 2011, having taken small planes from Nairobi to Malindi and then Lamu, on the Indian Ocean.
Sadly, the invasion of Lamu by Somalian pirates in the Autumn has given Lamu an unwanted notoriety but the combination of heroic medical intervention and extreme poverty of resources still goes on and the hospital's Maternity Unit is enormously grateful for the two large pieces of equipment for resuscitating babies with which the Order has now provided it.
