Kenya, Africa: 1998-1999
In 1998, Scarboro lay missionaries David Fish and his wife Elena Abubo were assigned to Nairobi, Kenya, and served almost a year in solidarity with the victims of HIV/AIDS and their caregivers. David worked as a researcher and educator at the University of Nairobi through the university’s Regional AIDS Training Network, helping to develop educational programs to stem the rapid spread of the disease. Elena offered her skills as a nurse and field worker in the slums of Nairobi, and at hostels, hospices, and a home for HIV infected orphans.
