Beatrice Goes to Africa: Mali Midwives Training in August
http://beatriceinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/06/mali-midwives-training-in-august.html
Beatrice Goes to Africa. Sunday, June 13, 2010. Mali Midwives Training in August. A Malian proverb says that a woman in labor has one foot on earth, and one foot in the grave.

Last year's training was (to my knowledge) the only follow up training my friends have had since they received their initial midwife training many years ago. The sad truth is that the Malian Ministry of Health si...

Beatrice Goes to Africa: Wedding Season
http://beatriceinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/03/wedding-season.html
Beatrice Goes to Africa. Monday, March 8, 2010. People keep asking me when I'm going to get married. At almost 26, I'm too old not to be married.

Beatrice Goes to Africa: Is life in outlaw territory worth it?
http://beatriceinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/02/is-life-in-outlaw-territory-worth-it.html
Beatrice Goes to Africa. Sunday, February 7, 2010. Is life in outlaw territory worth it? I ended my last entry with the question "what makes it worth it? And I realize that I have yet to answer it. It's mainly because I'm not exactly sure what drives people to choose to live in such terrible conditions. So where does that leave us? Good luck to your friends and their HIV project.

http://beatriceinafrica.blogspot.com/2010/09/mali-midwives-training-success_05.html
Beatrice Goes to Africa. Sunday, September 5, 2010. Mali Midwives Training a Success! We finished the fourth and final "Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor (AMTSL)" training sessions in Koutiala, Mali this past Saturday. Although everyone was exhausted by the end after having worked for two weeks straight, I'm happy to report that the trainings were a success! And yet these women persist, some working for free as their villages refuse to pay them for their vital and often life-saving services&#...
