COTW: A Beloved Flower (Guest post from Dan Galat)

(from Eric)

This past week, we hosted a team of orthopedic visitors from Samaritan's Purse.  The two orthopedic surgeons were from Kenya, Drs. Dan and Jomo.  Dan and his family are old friends of our team, and several of us lived across the yard from him back in Kenya.  It was a delight to see them, and they made a significant impact in the lives of lots of families, bringing advanced orthopedics care that would be otherwise inaccessible.

One of the nice things about visitors is getting to see your own familiar context through the eyes of someone else.  With that in mind, here is Dan's blog about a young man that he operated on, which is a great story in and of itself, but also contains some of his glimpses of Kibuye.

(and just for kicks, an ancient blog from 2010 about John and Jason going inter tube rafting in Kenya with Dan's son.  Dan enjoyed reminiscing about this story when he presented last week at Grand Rounds.)
