Midwifery Today and Domashniy Rebenok (Home Child) are teaming up to present a midwifery conference in Russia. The time is right to give strength to birthing women throughout the world by giving information and ideas to their midwives and doulas. Our goal is to build a network to bring further insight and knowledge to Russian midwives and parents. We also wish to bring their ideas and techniques to the rest of the world, for "Each One Teach One" has always been one of Midwifery Today’s goals.

love, jan
