Well, when we
traveled to Sudan, one of the people that
we brought with us was the daughter of one of
the nurse practitioners. And when we did
our training, she interviewed the
village midwives. We had village midwives
from all over Sudan. And she made a really good
description of the empowerment of these women. You could see that they
were hungry for knowledge. You could see the way they
were training each other. You could see--most of these
women were illiterate as well, and you could see that they
were able to take Helping Babies Breathe. You know, it wasn't the
theoretical knowledge. It was the ability to
be able to practice. And I could see that they were
learning with their minds, their hearts, and their hands. In their minds, they were
learning the simple lesson that if a baby doesn't breathe
in the first minute of life, it will die. And they were learning,
"We can change that." So Helping Babies
Breathe is powerful because it goes to mainly
women, midwives, who give access to women in very remote areas. And the access is that there
will be somebody there to help save your baby's life if they
can't breathe--that will help your baby to breathe if
your baby doesn't breathe in the first minute. And so I saw extremely
powerful changes happening during that visit.
