Mother’s Day & Baby Cards

IMG_1714We are so excited by the success of our Baby Shower Favors, Baby Shower Hostess Gifts and Mother’s Day Cards.

Our cards have been featured at many Baby Showers — adding a unique element to a special day by making a contribution to another mother’s birth.

Mother’s Day is a time to show our gratitude to mom.  Why not show her that we get all that she has done by making a donation in her name.  She gets a sweet card in a handstamped bag, and a mother in Laos gets a safer birth.

Make Mother’s Day 2015 a special one! Buy a card here: http://cleanbirth.org/mothersday/

Returning to Laos in March to build on our work!

IMG_0739The new Yale midwifery students have been selected.  Our tickets have been purchased.  We know what our objectives are:

1.  Training in Clean Birth Kits and WHO’s Essentials of Newborn Care.

2.  Get feedback from nurses.  How is program going? Changes? What do they need that we can give. (New training and items other than kits, babies, bag/mask)

3.  On-site assessment of clinics.  What they have and need.

4.  Feedback from ACD about the program and future plans.

5.  Meet with Provincial Health to see about their ideas for expansion of our training.

6.  Visit Champasak College of Health Services.  Learn about nursing and midwifery programs.

We met this week and are so thrilled to return and build on what we have done in July!

Cele Jevitt, the leader of the Yale group, has suggested additional training topics in response to the nurses’ questions during our July training.  These include: Hemorrhage, breastfeeding, and Breech.

It should be a wonderful training and its a very tangible goal for our upcoming crowd funding.  We are working to raise $10,000 in 3 weeks!!
