Hi !
Today as you certainly know it's the "Super Tuesday"!
Today american citizens choose their candidate for the presidential elections on November.
The republican candidate seems to be the senator Mac Cain, a veteran of Vietnam. He appears to me dangerous. I don't agree with his ideas. He is an extreme supporter of War on Irak.
He shares Georges Bush's convictions. To journalists he representes liberal think. I heard that people who could vote for Hillary Clinton (democrate candidate) could be able to report their voices for Mac Cain if the ex-first one woman was beaten by B.Obama.
I hope a democrate representant candidate will win. I particullarly hope for americans that they can benefit of a social protection, health care system...But I am afraid because americans seem to me not ready to choose a black or a woman!
See you soon!

Niger humanitary action
Sorry I didn't finish my message...
I said the women were treated like divinities!
Nigerians organised traditionnal ceremonies in honor of them. It's very interesting to see in video. At the moment of a ceremonie, people constitute a ring around the midwifes, and in the center musicians and dancers executed a great show. During this time, the main people(the midwifes) welkommed congratulations, thanks from all dwellers. Big surprise, children had to stay out of the ring otherwise a man weltted their feet!!! What a strong education!
In order to show you how important was this action for African people, the women were welkommed by a political man at the main town of Niger, they could also sleep some nights on carpet and not on the floor^^. It's essential to imagine that even if you are a rich man, you don't leave like here, you can't pretend possess a modern house, a fashion car....For exemple, imagine the main roads are like the "routes nationales" in France and can be counted on the ten fingers of your hand! I may exaggerate but remember it's Africa! The poorest continent of the world.
Finaly these four women had left a very interesting experience, and will keep a lot of tokkens.
I link some photos.....
See you soon!

Happy New Year!
I would like to speak to you about an humanitarian action.
Last October four midwifes from University of Caen and a man went to Niger in order to rehabilitate a maternity hospital. They just obtained their diploma on June and they decided before beginning to work to help poor people.So they studied their project during long months and they left Paris on October 18th.
When they arrived in Niger they had a bad surprise, there already was a maternity hospital but more precarious than they hopped! They hadn't any choice, they didn't have drinkable water, they didn't have water! The women decided to build a septic tank. The midwifes had to dig and set up walls. But the mean problem was Nigerian hadn't bricks. They had to make bricks with clay mineral.
Finally the maternity hospital has now a septic tank and as a consequence drinkable water!
Congratulations misses!
In fact the women didn't practise any childbirth. The African women work in the cultures so they concepted babies at choosen moment. On October, November, they didn't have babies. The more privilegious moment is February. The French misses made prevention, they told to women they have to take care of themselves, take care of little child who didn't eat enough....
One day during their trip they examine children in a town, any doctor wasn't come for more 5years so the midwifes examinated more 150 children in ONE day!
It was an enormous experience, very hard, they suffer of the heat, the hunger, they just had milled mush,they didn't eat meat for Two months.
They told me they can understand now what means "poverty, hunger, badhealth, misery".
They were welkommed like princesses, parties were organised for them.
