Giving newborns in South Sudan a warm welcome into the world.
Sarah Rubino, a CMMB midwife volunteer, spent a year serving at St. Therese Hospital in Nzara, South Sudan. While she helped welcome hundreds of babies into the world during her service, she also witnessed the extreme, and sometimes fatal, challenges mothers and newborns face in this impoverished, war-torn country every single day. “As I get caught up in grieving for one mother or baby, another little miracle is born into my hands. Living in South Sudan makes me realize just how precious human life is with all its ups and downs,” says Sarah. In remote areas like Nzara, medical supplies often run out, making it difficult to perform even simple interventions. A baby bundle can ensure that new moms have the essential items they need to keep their newborns safe and healthy.
