Hope we got your attention! No, we aren't really looking for Waldo (a fictional character in children's books that popped up in various locations around the world)
The more important question is "Where in the world are the childbirth professionals/organizations that are serving in 3rd world settings?  We'd love to share what they are doing, what impact they are having, and what their current needs are. Please send us an email with the contact and we will follow up. Maraming salamat!
