Aid projects

I have received another request, from a Christian Aid group this time, asking if we could donate some teaching aids for a project they are undertaking for pregnant women in Indonesia. From time to time we receive such requests, and usually they come from Australian midwives who know us and our products and want to use them to spread the word to women in developing countries as part of their own commitment to helping others.

In the past, we've been able to help the Rwandan refugees through Care Australia and Roumanian refugees, amongst other projects. We are always willing to see what we can do and usually we can find some posters or models that fit the bill. This time the request is for breastfeeding and pregnancy charts so I will be sending copies of our very popular "Story of Breastfeed" http://www.birthinternational.com/product/chart/ch027.html and " The Growing Uterus" series http://www.birthinternational.com/product/chart/ch003.html . This set is particularly useful because it has no words on the charts, which makes it more suitable for use with non-English speaking groups. Of course, with "The Story of a Breastfeed" the pictures tell the story anyway!

Another Australian midwife had some of the drawings showing positons for labour and birth in my "Preparing for Birth: Mothers" http://www.birthinternational.com/product/ace/bk010.html adapted for Cambodian women (with my permission of course) and the results were delightful. They were used on a series of charts in the hope that women would return to the traditional ways of giving birth rather than lying on beds, western-style. We sent these pictures on to our friends at The Birth and Breastfeeding Foundation in Thailand so they could use them in the same way, if they wished.

Helping in this way is simple for us, but hopefully really useful for those on the ground who are trying to turn back the march of westernised medical models for birth across developing countries. A few charts and models enable us to do our bit and support Aussie initiatives as well. All strength to these midwives with their wonderful work.
