Mother's Clubs

Haitian Health Foundation has a strong
public health focus. The believe in
educating and promoting communities in
many areas of life including health
care. Much of their community
education is done through mother's
clubs and father's clubs. This week I
attended both with Charlemagne, the
teacher. It reminded me of the
Homemaker's Clubs in the rural areas of
North Dakota. These women learned in
these groups about a variety of things
but more important supported each
other. Here Charlemagne is teaching
the women's clubs about their bodies
and about natural family planning.
