Hello!

We are building a new website for Yellow House..it will eventually reside at www.yellowhousechildrens.org but for now it lives at:

http://959376729185001214.weebly.com/

feel free to comment or let me know what else I might add. This is where all the volunteer or "visitor" information will be found. We have so many therapists joining us in the next 12 months that I will get up the information as we finalize their plans.

We look forward to welcoming David and Rachel to Vihiga, Isis, Alicia, and Jonathan to Mumias, Karra and Sally Anne to Kilifi and Andrea and Carmen to Mombasa.

Our friend, a student at Ohio State and a Nationwide Children's speech therapist is headed to Kenya in April to work as an intern with the United Nations in the refugee camps out near Somalia. We hope she has an incredible life changing experience and look forward to all the insights, stories and the work that she will do. b x

Speech Language Pathology in Kenya:

What I mainly want to say about this video is.. this mere 3 minutes of music, text and image took a good 15 hours of my life.

So here's a glimpse in to the SLP work I do. I have a very pediatric community based focus. Also, because I was funded through VSO patients did not have to pay to see me. This means that the work I did looked quite different to that of private practictioners.
