Summary

The Parker family journeys to Kenya excited to help the local children, but quickly find their big plans changed by injuries and surprises.

Plot

The episode starts with two siblings in Nairobi, Kenya Cece and Michael getting water for their family. Cece is worried because Michael seems to be getting weak. Michael overheard his parents saying how they don't have enough money to pay for him to see the doctor that will be coming through their village soon. Meanwhile, the Parker family is flying into Nairobi to do missionary work. Olivia is planning to make a documentary for Odyssey Middle School, and work at a Bible School that will be going on. Eva will help with her nursing skills, David will help build a school, Matthew will help upgrade the computer system, and Camilla doesn't know how to help yet. One of the things Matthew really wants to do is see a monkey. When they land, they meet up with Jessica, who works for Compassion International. As they are getting a tour, Olivia finds out that the Bible School was canceled because the river is too high for the children to cross. When they get to the medical center, there is no one for Eva to take care of. However, she does get told that she can assist a few moms who are close to giving birth. (Continue adding plot)
