purchase of tissues, bar soaps, and petroleum jelly for the patients. These items were

meant to be given to them for free.

 We went for lunch of around 30 minutes and convened at around 2.30pm for arranged on

groupings.

 We divided ourselves into 5 groups of approximately equal number of people.

 Each group had a temporary leader who could give direction on ward visitations which

started at around 3.00 pm.

 We took time to visit assigned wards starting from those of children at seventh floor.

 We proceeded to other floors for more visitations such as sixth, fifth, and fourth floors.

 In each ward visitation we carried out a set plan of doing things as follows

o We greeted the patients and asked for permission from them to share the word of

God through singing, praying, and reading the scripture.

o Once given permission, we opened with prayer, singing a song of choice from any

patient when possible, otherwise we sung the one which could fit the situation.

After singing, we shared the scripture and closed with prayers by one of the

chaplains which constituted special requests by patients other than sickness.

o We left the ward after distributing the gifts as the laid pattern, i.e. 1 soap, 1 tissue,

and 1 petroleum jelly per patient in need.

 After ward visitations, we held briefs and shared our experiences to mark the end of our

day at around 5.00 pm.

 We left KNH at around 5.30 pm each using personal means.
