“Doctors are also human beings but professional. We need to appreciate them always,” she stated.
Royal Family Foundation CEO Daniel Kariuki revealed that they started the group in 2019 as few individuals from same school.
According to him, they began as drama club performing in schools and churches and visiting children’s homes.
They would later transform into Royal Family Foundation with focus on charity work as a way of giving back to society.
He adds that the name is derived from Bible 1st Peter 9 that talks about chosen generation.
With a membership of 30, Kariuki stated that they chose to visit and appreciate doctors at Mother Kevin Hospital in line with the Biblical story of 10 lepers where only one came back to give thanks.
“We want to do things in a unique way as the chosen generation. We want to have positive impact in society,” he stated.
Sentiments echoed by Margaret Mithanga who serves as a Treasurer Royal Family Foundation.
She challenged society not to be quick to judge medical officers among them doctors and nurses.
“Many people have survived through the hands of doctors but we rarely go appreciate the doctors,” she stated.
