Looked on the web site for Discovery and found that this will also be aired on Thursday at 1am and at 2pm. Watched the trailer and you are in there several times. How exciting! (I only watch on the internet, can't afford cable and some of the videos aren't available in my area-Chicago). Will still try to catch the entire video. Thanks for the heads up.

I seldom leave comments, but your blog posts always touch my heart deeply. God bless you in all you are doing!

Just went to an exhibit with daughters in LA @ Skirball - Women Hold up Half the Sky. Quite a bit of footage of African women in different locales with fistulas was on display in the birth room (including a hand sewn banner that read "Our only surgeon died in CHildbirth - Uganda")

In looking to see if anyone in Africa is teaching women about "spinning babies.com" in utero and if it could indeed help prevent the initial fistulaes from forming. And that's when I came across this post of yours. My tears are drying - Bless you for living in the present. For seeing (human) spirit in everyone and everything. And may those around you find yours often enough as well.

Thank you for making a difference in as many ways as possible this time around.

ps - I just read you are in Ghana after Sierra Leone. One of my closest friends did a documentary short on birth in Sierra Leone earlier this year. http://blog.photoshelter.com/2010/09/ami-vitale-documentary-every-pregnancy-is-a-gamble/

I am incredibly connected in changing the status of birth and love in this lifetime.

Oh my goodness! I met Eva Mendez in Freetown in October while she was filming a documentary for Half the Sky! So cool to hear more about the cause. Off I go to check out that link ... (although I can't watch videos from over here)
