Includes photographs
In 2000, globally, there were 529,000 maternal deaths and 4 million stillborn babies. World wide, one woman dies every minute from preventable complications of pregnancy and childbirth. A child dies every 3 seconds as a result of extreme poverty. One in five children in the developing world does not have access to safe water.
Mother Teresa said, ‘I cannot change the world for everyone, but I can change the world for someone.’ Midwife Mavis Gaff-Smith has made it her mission to put Mother Teresa’s ideal into practice.
This book is the story of her travels as a volunteer worker amongst women in Mexico, Jamaica, Nepal, Thailand, Zambia, Kolkata and the Pacific Islands. It is an inspiring story of joy and commitment.
