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.

The children and the wheelchair
I met this woman and soon found out she had not walked for most of her life. The children brought her a wheelchair that was donated to Bill Rice Clinic. They also sang her a song and she cried for joy. Life, at that moment, seemed so perfect and filled with limitless joy.
After English class, I said "Let's bring a wheelchair to someone who can not walk." I started to push it but soon all the boys picked it up and ran down the road singing "We are the World. We are the children." I could hardly keep up with them as we made our way down the road to another small hamlet.
Beautiful
