news from near and far

Field update from CARE: There are thousands of pregnant women in the disaster zone, and without access to proper medical care they risk medical complications. Haiti already has the highest rate of maternal death in the region. There is also a fear that traumatized mothers will stop breastfeeding; there is urgent need for clean drinking water and additional nutritious food so new mothers do not become dehydrated or malnourished.

And on the domestic front, Victor and E are having a fun day together! We're headed to the grocery store now, to ride in one of those huge carts that have 2 kids' seats.
