DESCRIPTION:The Women’s Empowerment Network Invites You \nto learn about and support 
 a new \nMidwife Education Project! \n\nPlease join us for:\nDorothy

 Nicaragua \n\nSATURDAY MAY 5th\n6:30 to 9:00 \nSlide Show, Talk \nFolk 
 Dancing and Dessert!\n\nAt the Resource Center for Nonviolence\n612 Ocean 
 Street in Santa Cruz\n\n\n\nSliding Scale Donations Gratefully 
 Accepted\n\n\n\nThis is a Pilot Project with a goal of reducing death and 
 illness of girls, women and infants in Nicaragua. This project will train 
 and accompany 100 traditional midwives and their community health workers 
 who live and work in the most remote areas of the Department of Matagalpa, 
 where women are at risk for illness and death during the reproductive 
 process. \n\n\nDorothy Granada, a former resident of Santa Cruz, has lived 
 and worked as a nurse in Nicaragua for the last 27 years. She believes this 
 project is well designed because the midwives and community health workers 
 are given the support that they need. Dorothy says, “These women and men 
 are heroic. Some travel 2 days, risking swollen rivers to attend trainings. 
 To hear their stories of struggles to save lives of women is deeply moving 
 and underscores the urgent need for this program.”\n\n\nfor more
