BIRTH : Healthy mothers, happy land, A NETWORK TO SUPPORT IBU ROBIN
A project of solidarity for the birth
Ibu Robin Lim, a midwife, writer, poet, International Award 'Alexander Langer' 2006, returning from Haiti - which came in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake - Verona will be Wednesday, May 12 at 11:30 am at the headquarters of the Pomegranate (via Castel San Felice 36, Verona), at the creation of the solidarity network 'Healthy mothers, happy land' in support of his work on behalf of the birth .
Ibu Robin's mission (in Bali, where he lives and works, respectfully call Ibu - Mother, Lady) is to provide assistance to the most fragile infants and their mothers, curare le donne in gravidanza, aiutarle nel parto e nel post-partum, sostenere l'allattamento al seno (specialmente nelle emergenze quando mancanza d'acqua e di servizi igienico-sanitari rendono pericolosa la nutrizione artificiale).
Nel 1994 ha fondato a Bali l'associazione no profit Bumi Sehat (Bumi sta per terra madre e Sehat significa sano, felice) che gestisce un piccolo centro di salute per madri, bambini, padri, un consultorio di comunità che lotta contro la povertà e la malnutrizione, per una gravidanza sana, un parto sereno, un'accoglienza felice del nuovo nato, un luogo di salute per tutte le persone povere della regione, che solo lì possono ricevere cure adeguate, di qualità e completamente gratuite.
To engage in vital work of obstetrics and support for pregnant women to give birth, breastfeeding and new born, the birth Bumi Sehat operates homes in Bali and in Aceh and gave timely responses to emergency obstetric in the most recent natural disasters: the tsunami in Aceh in 2004, the earthquake in Yogyakarta in May 2006, the earthquake in Padang in September 2009 and now the earthquake in Haiti.
Even in Haiti, in the aftermath of the disaster, he worked primarily to protect mothers and children, exploiting all available resources, in conjunction with NGOs already present in the area, to provide drinking water, food and shelter to evacuees or the houses destroyed, to give ai sopravvissuti tutto ciò di cui hanno bisogno per ritornare alla vita. Ogni nascita è un miracolo gentile e questo miracolo è la guarigione di una parte di Haiti.Nelle prime due settimane di lavoro, oltre a concentrarsi nella realizzazione di infrastrutture, il team ha offerto prestazioni agli ospedali, nei campi e nelle tendopoli con 491 interventi (7 nascite, 85 visite prenatali, 99 visite postpartum e di supporto all'allattamento al seno, 285 cure pediatriche, 15 cure ad adulti malati e feriti) e dopo tre mesi la casa per la nascitaè pienamente operativa, avvalendosi della collaborazione di uno staff haitiano. Una volta spenti i riflettori sull'emergenza, struttura e conoscenze resteranno patrimonio della popolazione e potranno rimanere operational even when international attention will be diminished.
In bringing relief to areas with deep wounds in areas devastated by conflict and environmental disasters, the intervention of Ibu Robin is not only emergency obstetrics, but also a free health service, based on three strong principles and simple: Respect cultures, nature and medical sciences. Ibu Robin is aware that midwifery is an art based on love and that respect for the birth we become bearers of peace. Mothers
healthy, happy land, a network of solidarity, constituted by the favor of the Alexander Langer Foundation, aims to raise awareness of the work and the thought of Ibu Robin Lim and Bumi Sehat.
