I am always in awe of what happens at the birthing center.
This program runs like a well oiled machine because of the love and support of women helping women.
The Women's Program is in need of some supplies.
If you have or would like to donate any of these things please let me know and I will be happy to bring them on my next trip. Below is a note from Beth McHoul in Haiti.
If you are going to be traveling to Haiti soon, and would be willing to pack extra stuff in your bags for us, please let us know. Heartline's Maternity Center is in need of the following supplies ASAP. Thanks in advance!
