Aide pour le Samburu District
Aide pour le Samburu District

Emily Donoghue will be getting a different kind of education this summer.
Later this month, the MassBay Community College nursing student will travel to a remote region of northern Kenya, where she will be living and working with the Samburu people as part of a humanitarian aid and community service program sponsored by Kenya Aid and Relief Effort.
Ms. Donoghue was invited to come on the trip by her anatomy professor, Tina Ramme, who is president of the relief organization.
“Emily was selected to participate because she demonstrated compassion, integrity, and a willingness to sacrifice her personal comfort in order to assist some of the most marginalized people in East Africa,” Ms. Ramme said.
Ms. Ramme traveled to Kenya initially to help protect the lions, but changed her focus to the Samburu people when she learned about their plight.
“The Samburu District has recently been devastated by one of the worst droughts and famines in a century, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people and the loss of over 85 percent of the region’s livestock, the only form of income in this area,” Ms. Ramme said.
Ms. Donoghue and seven other volunteers will be living and working with the Samburu assisting with emergency food distribution, critical health care services and clean drinking water projects, and helping to rebuild a local primary school.
In addition to working to repair the school, Ms. Donoghue said, she will present the school with school supplies she has collected before her trip.
“I have all kinds of materials to bring with me,” she said. “I’m bringing backpacks, posters, crayons and pencils.”
As part of their efforts, Ms. Donoghue said, the volunteers will be bringing food and water for the tribe from Nairobi.
“We are collecting money and will use it to buy rice and beans and water to distribute when we get there,” she said. Money also is being collected for a communal fund to assist the tribe during emergency situations, such as when food and water are scarce.
“We’re also raising money to buy solar panels to be used on solar ovens,” Ms. Donoghue added. “The women do all the cooking over open fires in their huts, with no ventilation, and many of them have respiratory problems. So we’re trying to provide them with a communal hut to cook in.”
Ms. Donoghue may get to see first-hand the effects of the open fire cooking as well as other tribal ailments because she also will be working in the tribe’s health clinic, assisting patients with malaria and other conditions.
“It’s a huge deal for them to have a clinic,” Ms. Donoghue said. “They’re in such a remote region.”
Ms. Donoghue said she is accepting tax-deductible donations of any amount to assist the Samburu people. Donations may be sent to the Lion Conservation Fund, Conservation KARES Program, P.O. Box 380 170, Cambridge, MA 02138.
