ローラ・ヴァンダーヴォートさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ローラ・ヴァンダーヴォートInstagram)「#MondayMotivation #Love #Kindness #Give #makechange I had the absolute honor of a trip to Kenya a few years back as an ambassador with @worldvisioncan My sister and I spent the trip meeting families in many area. Hearing their stories. Seeing the progress of medical clinics for women during labor and pre natal care. Sponsored a child today. Checkout @worldvisioncan ❤️❤️❤️ Some of the article I wrote for the #HuffingtonPost can be read below about my time in #Kenya. For more you can google my name and world vision Canada as well as the #HuffingtonPost ..................................... I traveled with World Vision staff, and my sister Sarah. We had the basic details about our journey: statistics, an itinerary, pamphlets and an armful of vaccines. We knew we'd be seeing how World Vision Canada was helping the youngest, most vulnerable children. Those under the age of five. There is no way to fully prepare for a trip like this. There are simple yet critical interventions that save the lives and futures of infants, children and yet-to-be-born children in the world's most difficult places. The most critical time in a person's development happens before they turn five, this includes all of the growth that happens before a child is born. We visited a medical clinic and saw how recent improvements to their maternity ward have saved lives, and learned work still needs to be done. We saw new solar refrigerators stocked with immunizations. There were new beds supplied for women in labour, and resting rooms for after they deliver. These rooms were sparsely furnished and old. In spite of the improvements I felt sad, realizing this meek room was an upgrade. It was encouraging to see the number of women coming to the clinic has grown. Charts lined the walls tracking many healthy births. These charts represent more children with a chance at a healthy childhood. We were treated to a wonderful song and dance performed by some villagers. Drama is a form of conversation to spread the word on medical care and the importance of hygiene. I can still hum the tune of one of the songs. The lyrics of that song, roughly translated were, "Our health is important."」8月28日 5時13分
