The day after Eid, we took a trip to visit the family we lived with when Ellie was a baby. It was nice to catch up and see how the kids have grown. I was also able to have a meaningful conversation and hear a family story that I hadn't heard before. It exposed the lack of training for midwives in village settings. It was sad to hear what people have suffered unnecessarily.
Before we left we posed for some photos.

So sad. My parents' organization started giving out sterile at home birthing kits where they work because of the lack of hygiene and trained mid-wives. It's sad that basic care isn't more readily available. Grateful for what we do have.
