Could not the results even become increased if others residing in Mozambique were to follow the footsteps of women such as Emilia Cumbane to obtain this needed training in a location such as Brazil? Maybe PBS Wide Angle could co-sponsor an episode to be broadcasted on Brazil's Rede Globo? Rede Globo is nationally televised media in Brazil. It just seems that the lack of individuals could become better enhanced by some partnership within Brazil? The language, dialects very similar of the same Portuguese language. Many other great ideas posted here as well. The first class of almost 30 surgical midwives trained in delivery techniques and advanced surgery graduate in July 2008.

Thank goodness for my insomnia I caught this masterpiece of a show at 4AM and was very proud to see how women are becoming educated in the name of saving human lives. I would love to donate money to help the students and hospitals in Manjacage. I feel we can all do this if we get the correct organization to send our donations. I was even going to write to Feed The Children, to see if they can help. Please let me know how I can help. To the producers of this documentary you deserve an Oscar.

Is there any way we can be informed as to how that is going? I realize patience is needed, but I don't want the project to languish for lack of interest.
