New birth website for Filipina women

Today I am off to present a workshop at Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital in London. This hospital is straight across the Thames River from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, and in today’s sunshine all their touches of gold will be glittering - a reminder of the power of Parliaments shape people’s lives (but not necessary a shining reminder of the sparking debate that goes on amongst politicians!).

The war in Iraq has been in progress now for several days. It is hard to know what is going on as the media are giving us a very massaged version of events. As the saying goes: “the first casualty of war is truth”. One outcome for me has been that 4 Israeli midwives who had registered for this workshop have had to pull out because there are no flights out of Israel for the time being. I hope I will be able to meet them another time.

In all the gloom about war it is nice to have good news. One of our Graduate Diploma in Childbirth Education students has just launched a childbirth website for Filipina women living away from their homeland. This is an exciting project and one I know she has worked very hard to achieve. Congratulations Rocellita on a fantastic effort!. Reaching out to your compatriots in this way is a wonderful community service and I hope it is widely used and appreciated.

Thank you, Andrea! This is most heartwarming. And to actually read it from your website, tee-hee.

I am now up to my gills preparing for the first "Bigkis" series of classes (31 May to July 5). I am hiring (for a small fee)a nice spacious room at the local community centre for six months.
I'm excited as well as greatly challenged. There will be low periods, I'm sure, when I will feel isolated and will wonder if I'm doing it right (or as best as I can).

But ! We, great women visionaries of the 21st century, are not allowed to look back. We will conquer fear, we will go where no man (OBs included) has ever gone before. On to new horizons, higher mountains, fearsome valleys. (Gongs and cymbals resounding in the background, slowly fade into an eerie kind of quiet.)

Btw, you haven't signed my guestbook yet :-)

Still sane,
Rocellita
