About a week ago a delegation from the Norwegian Association for Private Initiative in Cambodia (NAPINI) visited the Riverkids Centre. The group very kindly donated $100, shoes, toys and some clothes. The Foundation would like to thank them for this very generous donation. A member of staff also gave them a tour of the Riverkids Community. Here they meet a mother who recently gave birth to a baby girl.
NAPINI was looking for ideas for ways to help Riverkids. Sophon suggested to them that maybe they could donate the money to supply a trained midwife.
The midwife would work on health related matters in the Community.
This is very important for the following reasons:
Little or no knowledge and information on Birth planning
Hygiene for children is a big problem
Poor and dirty environment in which the people live
Lack of a supply of Clean Water
The duties of the new Midwife would include the following:
Organize small group workshops catering towards healthcare
Assist pregnant women in the community
Provide Multivitamins to the children.
Teach the community how to improve their environment and reduce the spread of diseases.
The impact of such schemes would have huge beneficial effects.
They would reduce illnesses in the children and the Community as a whole.
The healthcare of mothers and new babies would dramatically improve.
Also with a better environment would become a better quality of life which can only be good for the Community?
Mrs. Irene, the general Manager of NAPINI replied to Sophon‘s request,
It was nice to see you last week. Thank you for taking the time to show us around and to inform about your good work. One of my friends that came with me, Mrs. Hege Valen, and her family would like to sponsor a full time nurse (USD 200 per month). The nurse will need to do training (two weeks?) at our maternity clinic in Takhmau and also out in the villages where we examine the pregnant women and teach them about pregnancy, general healthcare and hygiene, nutrition, childcare etc. Your nurse can get copies of the teaching material we are using.
