From Teacher to Nurse

A former CGA volunteer teacher graduated from Tenwek School of Nursing this weekend. Mourine Ooro had worked at CGA as a volunteer from 2006-2007 after she had finished secondary school. There was a time she considered going to teacher training college so she could be a trained teacher, but felt God leading her to study nursing. She joined Tenwek in 2008 and has worked diligently to achieve her dream. In August, she passed her National Nursing Exam and has been employed at Tenwek Hospital.

I stacked Mourine’s family (parents plus 4 siblings), along with six other friends into my landcruiser and we travelled together to Bomet on Friday to share with her on her Graduation Day. They had a special banquet on Friday night for the graduates and their families. The graduation ceremony was highlighted by a great a wonderful message from Pastor Meshack Habib about overcoming obstacles. All of Mourine’s friends and family enjoyed a nice meal down by the dam and shared a few moments together before departing.

Mourine has personally been a very good friend of mine since she first started working at CGA back in 2006.  I am proud of Mourine’s achievement and wish her the best as she takes the love of God with her in ministering to her patients.
