Happy Day in Congo!


Josephine being greeted with a happy Dance in Congo!!!
The Traditional Birth Attendants (and Moms!) turned out in full force to perform a Happy Dance to welcome Josephine, the Democratic Republic of Congo health worker supervisor!    This has been a day loooong in the making!

Several months ago HealthEd Connect donors were deeply moved by the fact that babies were being delivered to mothers laying on worn-out mattresses on the floor of little village birthing centers in the Kasenga area.  Donations poured in to get mattresses for moms!  Government snafus delayed the transfer of funds into the country but we finally had a major breakthrough.  This month, life-saving equipment was trucked to the villages to make life safer and a bit more comfortable for moms and new babies.
Delivery tables and steel pans for sterilizing equipment are at the top of the list of unbelievable new equipment!
