September 22, 2012 Babies are born!

Dario's first sight of the babies. Fathers are not allowed in the labor and delivery rooms. He waited in this hall for hours while Mam Rachiel underwent a CSection. 

Dario helping Rachiel through the first days of pain. The babies were cared for in the nursery and never brought to the parents. 
Just a few close friends and family.
Teachers of the PILMES, Grade 6 team; Mam Cristy, me, Mam  Rachiel,  Mam  Glorydee and Mam Maureen.

Bibeh (Mare) and Jawie are sisters and first cousins of Mam Rachiel.

Putting baby powder on her back.  There are electric fans and a big window that opened for fresh air. No air conditioning. Cleaning and hygiene care is provided by the "kasamas" (person or persons that stay with the patient).
