Make a plan. You will need
to decide who will do each task,
what they will need to do it, and
when they will do it.
Finding root causes of health problems
I can pay for the seeds,
but we all must work
together to plant and
care for them.
Be sure to meet again to talk about how the plan is going.
The seedlings are coming
up well. And everyone
has been taking turns
watering them
I talked to the storekeeper,
and he said he will not sell
beans — they don’t make
enough money for him.
The chickens
have started
laying.
Let’s all go to the
storekeeper together.
If we tell him we’ll stop
buying anything from
him, he may listen to
our demands!
Midwives can make change
Midwives and the women they serve may face any kind of health problem, from
simple ones like nausea to serious ones like a bad hemorrhage. But when
midwives work carefully to discover causes, and use wise judgment and support
from the community, they can solve nearly any problem, even many of the most
difficult ones.
