My community volunteer efforts

[BirthBuddy]

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I added a community work page to my site:
http://birthbuddy.wordpress.com/community-work/

Sadly, the reality is that most women in South Africa don’t have access to the facilities we do, and don’t have the many and varied options we do. However these very women are the ones that need the support the most, due to being in various sad, and often very traumatic, circumstances.

For this reason, we have chosen to support a few charitable causes by helping to bring the benefits of a doula assisted birth to those moms that really need it.

I'm doing all I can to 'give back' whether it's in monetary donations, stuff (clothing, food and toiletries for moms and babies) or doulaing and child birth education time...

Please contact me if you would like to help us to continue to support this very worthy cause. Any ideas or suggestions are gratefully accepted.

Hey Tameryn,

Great to see another SA doula on the board!

I find the volunteer work really fulfilling, even though it is emotionally exhausting.

Good luck with your work in JHB.

Hi Jane

There are actually a few of us SA doulas on here. Good luck with your doula journey, and thank you for the encouraging words.
