One of the coolest things that Daxa Auntie does is traditional birth attendant training. Given that the villages dont all have great access to hospital facilities, most pregnant women rely on traditional birthing. The problem is, these birth attendants are almost always uneducated, and since I am talking about the very rural areas, they also have little exposure. Their methods are often unhygenic and obviously they don't know what to do in emergency situations.
Daxa auntie does a great job of teaching them when the baby is in a breeched postion and that the mother shuold immediately be sent to the hospital. ok I have to go now oops..I'll add to this later. Basically it was tons of fun, the women are old and spunky and I cant wait to show you all the pictures of today!
