In 2007 daughter Bethany, a 19 year old, traveled to Africa, and was appalled at condition of hospital for children in west Kenyan town of Bungoma.
In 2009 Mark went with Bethany to check out this hospital.
People are lovely but destitute and primitive but resourceful.
Children's ward had 23 beds and overcrowded with cross infection causing deaths.
In peak of malaria season ward has up to 100 children plus families.
600,000 children in Bungoma district with the third of the population HIV positive.
