Malawi: midwife story · Global Voices
Sokari Ekine

Babycatcher is a midwife working in Malawi who chronicles her daily experiences with mothers and babies in Lilongwe, Malawi….”This morning I found the aunt with the little one wrapped to her back, just a tiny head peaking over the chitengi. He is so frail. I fantasize about watching him transform into a chubby little boy who will run and jump and scream just for the fun of it.”
