Had I understood the choices at hand, I may not have chosen to have these beautiful children when there is so much exciting work to be done in the world. The days I have time to pursue my other interests are the same days that I feel okay about choosing also motherhood. Here, we attempt to blog about our 5-year-old's questions AND our own questions/ideas around issues that we need to be involved in to complement our parenting.

to write and roll
I'd love to write! There's a lot happening here...if only in our heads & hearts. But my husband sold our full keyboard with rest of the computer. He's ordered another one though that might arrive my late next week. In the meantime I've been rolling up some Fresh Salad Spring Rolls stuffed with cabbage, carrots, mint, chives, radish, red onions, and avocados...everything local except the wrap. Yum!

Haiti Breastfeeds / Ayiti Tete
With the help of at least 11 Haitian women and your support, we are (IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS) compiling a short and sweet book in CREOLE about
breastfeeding in Haiti for the purposes of celebrating and educating about breastfeeding in Haiti. Breastfeeding promotes women's rights, food sovereignty (that there's enough good = local food for her to eat), most often birth control, and health and healthy attachment for babe. Ayiti Tete is collecting photos of women nursing their babes from all 10 departments in Haiti plus the Diaspora.
The women need to be still nursing their babes and ideally to have nursed their baby exclusively for the first 6 months. We will publish the book online. Each participating woman will receive 1-3 copies to distribute in her home community. We are just starting to look for funds (?) for the production and distribution of copies
of the book to participating women. Please write to us on facebook if you want to participate in Ayiti Tete by finding nursing women or if you have ideas for $.
Thank you, MESI !
Visit Ayiti Tete on facebook for PHOTOS and updates!
