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 !
