It's hard to believe how quickly things are moving with the project these days. I can barely keep up. We should be done enrolling all 82 babies by Monday. Twenty-seven kids have already finished their 6 months of manba. We had our second "1st birthday party" last week and a third scheduled for this Thursday. The parties are definitely one of the high points in this project - the babies are beautiful. During the last party four of the nine moms started crying - most likely expressing a combination of thankfulness for their healthy children and a little fear about what will happen to them now that they are no longer receiving the supplement.

I am wondering if you can share with me your current practices with HIV+ moms --- do you have them breastfeeding or bottle feeding? We run a small womens program training and educating about 80 women and have 4 HIV mothers. We are wondering what you all do and are curious to see if it matches up with what we've been doing ... if you have time I am Tara at tara.livesay@worldwidevillage.org
