Special
Projects Mississippi and Louisiana After the Storm We have not forgotten our sisters that were impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. During the last year, The Birthing Project has made five trips to Gulf. Our intention has been to take necessary aide, ask how we could best be of service and to provide sisterly support during this challenging time. What we found were strong sisters who are taking care of their communities. Just like the rest of us, they know what they want to do and they need resources, connection and support. The addition of The Birthing Project models will give them one more tool to do their work. Our intention is to demonstrate a strong
community partnership with areas that have been hardest hit by economic
and social disparities before and after Hurricane Katrina.
Reggie Brownhow The Birthing Project is recruiting sponsors, medicine and medical supplies...as well as women delegates who would like to accompany us on our quarterly SisterFriend missions to Mississippi and Louisiana. Contact us.
