Anna, Maritza and I met up with Dr. Carla at the main clinic here in Copan on Thursday. Once a month there is gathering specifically for expecting mothers. Maritza gave a demonstration on the steps of labour with the practice dummy and then coffee and cookies were handed out.
Before I left Canada I gathered a suitcase of baby clothes donated from my grandparents and some friends that had just had a baby, after the demonstration I handed them out. There was around sixty or seventy pregnant women and it was rather hectic and a bit of scramble trying to make sure everybody got something! The blankets and socks were the most popular. Most of the babies that I have seen here are usually wrapped in rough, brightly coloured towels.
