"It's very rewarding to teach safe motherhood
to practitioners who are so keen to learn. The days are varied and
unpredictable: I might be enjoying a dance with the village chief
for the opening of a delivery room or just being sung to in my jeep
by local children."
Mary Holdsworth, former Nurse in Liberia.
