Friends Of Kijabe

David: So today I'm talking with a pastor Benjamin.  What's your full name and what your role at Kijabe Hospital? Benjamin: My full name is Pastor Benjamin Kioko Mutuku.  My role in Kijabe Hospital is being the staff chaplain in the department of chaplaincy, dealing with the staff in the hospital - spiritual, psychosocial needs.   David: I don't think this role exists, very much, in America. I don't think it's normal.  Usually when people think of hospital chaplains, they think of what your teammates do - visiting with patients and visiting with families in crisis.  But, a lot of your work is with staff members.   Benjamin: Yes, yes.  David: I assume probably a lot of that work is in crisis, maybe some of it is during peacetime.  Benjamin: Yeah, one of the main things that I think the hospital had in mind when they advertised for the position, was the realization that the staff get so much fatigued. While we have chaplains who talk to patients and chaplains who are assuring in relatives and praying with them,
