One of Sam's passions over the last few years has been to help birthing Mum's go through labor, she has trained as a Doula and spent some time assisting a midwife here in Ensenada. She has a real heart to help under privileged mums as they give birth and navigate the public health system.
While Sam was in Cape Town she got she got to work with the Zoe Project, which is helping mums every day give birth in the public hospitals. Sam goes to work in three different hospitals and some of the poorest and roughest parts of Cape Town. She met with many mums, and have the privilege of helping birth seven babies over the week. One beautiful touch was while she was there she borrowed a scrub top from another staff member whose name was Susan. Sam became known as Nurse Susan by our team. Susan was her mom's name who passed away eight years ago. Sue was also a nurse so she felt it was an honor serve in the name of her mum. |
