These are the stories of my work as a midwife throughout the world. These are the stories of midwives, mothers, babies and the communities they live in.

Jason buries the placentas in the garden
This is Jason but everyone says it like this "jaaaay - son"
He has lived in Cap Hatien for most of his life and lived here at the birth center when it was a half completed house.
He is the one who opens the gate for the women in labor and the one who buries the placentas in the garden after a birth.
Most days, he sits outside the gate with his best friend, "The Boss". The Boss has a cow and Jason has two goats so they watch them and keep an eye on the road, greeting everyone who passes by.
He has many children and grandchildren who come to visit and his girlfriend cooks for us on Sundays.
Here is Jason, with a perfect placenta ready to be buried in the garden!
