The unnecessary medicalization of birth is just another way that the powers that be (read: powerful men) have taken it upon themselves to once again lay claim to our bodies. We’re told that we’re incapable of making our own choices about contraception, sex, abortion, and childbirth, and if we’re not trusted enough to make decisions about our own bodies and physiological processes, how could we possibly be trusted enough to go into the world and lead countries, start successful businesses, or be seen as equals in a professional setting? But that’s exactly the point.

Kickass Kid of the Day: Yes, this shot is real — photographer James Morgan submitted it to this year’s National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest:
Enal, a young sea nomad, rides on the tail of a tawny nurse shark, in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Marine nomadism has almost completely disappeared in South East Asia as a result of severe marine degradation. I believe children such as Enal have stories that could prove pivotal in contemporary marine conservation.
Just… wow. Our money’s on Morgan for the win.

Is there even a term for that?
So I haven’t written a post in a while… like since I was in Costa Rica over 2 months ago. I’m back stateside as of a month ago and things are going well. A lot better than before I did my travel thing for a couple of months. I have a SICK job and I’m doing things that I want to be doing. Like last night I went to a Chili Peppers concert. SO good. I want to reread Scar Tissue now.
I’m really excited to go back to school in the fall. This break was seriously exactly what I needed to get my head back on track. And now it’s SUMMER (almost) and I get to go to the beach every day!!!!

A Pygmy Marmoset (Callithrix pygmaea) is seen at a primate rescue and rehabilitation center near Santiago August 3, 2010. The Pygmy Marmoset, known as the world’s smallest monkey and under danger of extinction, was confiscated after being found inside the clothes of a Peruvian citizen during a highway police check at the northern city of Antofagasta, some 1367 km (849 miles) of Santiago.

121 Midwives complete training in Ghana, as part of our efforts to reduce maternal mortality in Africa.
In Ghana a staggering 451 women out of 100,000 who give birth lose their lives in the process. This figure contrasts sharply to that of 9 women losing their lives out of every 100,000 births in the United States of America.
The reduction of maternal mortality is a UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) but places like Ghana are far from reaching this goal to reduce maternal deaths by 2015.
Al Muntada Trust, is taking on this challenge as part of its 25th year anniversary pledge to contribute to the reduction of maternal mortality in five West African countries; namely Ghana, Mali, Benin, Togo and Nigeria.
This March saw the conclusion of the first stage of this innovative project, which was the training of 121 midwives from across hospitals in Ghana. These midwives will go on to become trainers and pass on the skills they have gained from the intensive course delivered by our partner Life for African Mothers (Wales).
What’s Next:
- Provision of life saving medicine.
- Provision of basic medical equipment.
(Pics: Al Muntada Trust Training for midwives held in Accra-Ghana, delivered by trainers from LfAM, pic also shows the simulation of birth using a Mamanatali)
Again everyone, I am curating for Al Muntada Trust, where I work and try to make a difference. So Please follow.
I’LL DO IT
