Today is graduation for the ladies who have attended the prenatal seminar at Shiphrah Bahay Paanakan (Birthing Home).

Besides just being a lot of fun, it marks a major accomp- lishment of having taken respons- ibility for their own birth.

All of our seminars are designed by the women themselves, around their questions about birth, family, and nutrition. When they ask the questions, work out the answers, and then share with one another--the education becomes very much their own.

A blessed volunteer, DiAnn, provided the gifts for each graduating buntis (pregnant woman). This Maybell and Johanna, daughters of two of our midwives--Floribell and Lorni.
