Toledo Chapter
Report, October 16, 1998
The 1998-1999 season got off to a lively start with a meeting on September 12 featuring a report from our representative to the UNESCO/WHO/PPSEAWA sponsored workshop in Hawaii in August, titled "Children, the Family, and Health." Kathy James, our representative, reported that the other countries represented at the workshop have the same problems as we do. While no easy solutions emerged, sharing of programs, ideas, methods of funding, etc. made for an interesting program with several other countries showing particular interest in programs such as our Head Start. Member Lorene Gunderson reported on the plight of Robin Lim, a nursemidwife who had been working in Bali but was forced to evacuate her clinic when the problems in Indonesia became critical. The Toledo group has decided to send her monetary support. A further report on Robin's situation is included herein.
