Hello, my name is Pat, and I am a midwife. I have the incredible opportunity to go to Haiti to teach. I will be working with Haitian women to teach them how to deliver babies safely as part of Midwives for Haiti. Haiti has the highest infant and maternal mortality in the western hemisphere. Because of the generous contributions from friends and family, I am able to bring desperately needed supplies and medications. I will be leaving Sunday May 2nd and will be there for two weeks. I have been so fortunate in my life and welcome this opportunity to provide help at such a critical time for Haiti. Because electricity is limited to one hour a day there, I will try to post entries as frequently as possible. So stay tuned because my countdown for Haiti has officially begun.
