Sarakasi Trust - Smiles for Change

We felt very priveleged to be invited to KNH 5th ANNUAL PATIENT CENTERED CONFERENCE. The theme this year was “Safe and Supported: Connecting Care Teams and Families.”
Many different people were present who are playing a role in different ways with patients and families.
In the afternoon we took part of a discussion on using the arts towards healing.
It was a very interesting day and we learned a lot.
Asante sana for appreciating our partnership since 2007 and our program of Smiles For Change.
We look forward to be part of future platforms and discussion how we can improve the challenging circumstances in healthcare.

Happy new week, folks! 💛

Nairobi might be rainy and gloomy⛈️☔🌫️ but over here, we’re colouring the grey away🌈. At Sarakasi Trust - Smiles for Change , we believe that just like music feeds the soul and body🎶❤️‍🩹, colour sparks the mind, awakens imagination and brings little worlds to life. 🎨🌞
