  • Jesus the Midwife<br />
<br />
María de Jesús Pérez Vásquez<br />
Coalaca, Las Flores, Lempira<br />
<br />
"I’m 92, I was born in 1925. I had three of my own children, two boys and a girl. I spend most of my time in the house nowadays, with my daughter-in-law and grandchildren.<br />
<br />
There’s no one else my age around here. The secret to a long life is to rest enough but not too much, eat as little as a child eats and work hard. I still like to make tortillas, though my fingers are getting stiff now.<br />
<br />
My parents didn’t have money to send me to school, but I learned a few things. I worked as a midwife for 60 years. I delivered a lot of babies, attended a lot of women in birth. Everyone here knows me. Women still bring me little gifts to say thank you. When I walk down the road, most of the people I meet I saw them arrive in this world. I was the first person to hold them.<br />
<br />
My husband was a drunk. He died of a hangover in a field 12 years after we got married. I brought up the children on my own."

  • Midwife Joan Laker uses a Pinard horn as she performs a prenatal examination of a woman in Nimule, South Sudan, during a mobile clinic run by Caritas of the Diocese of Torit. The mobile clinic was launched in January 2014 shortly after war broke out within South Sudan, and thousands of families arrived in this area, near the country's border with Uganda, from Bor, in Jonglei State. Yet many have not been warmly welcomed to this region of Eastern Equatoria State, where two earlier waves of displaced people in the 1980s and 1990s left relations tense between the newcomers, who are Dinka, and the largely Ma'adi residents around the city of Nimule. The Caritas mobile clinic provides medical care--often under a tree--both to displaced families as well as to poor residents of the host communities.
