In honor of today’s launch of the Global Motherhood platform on the Huffington Post, I have a post up there about the “village reporters” we met in Kenya this summer.
Through a program with the US Centers for Disease Control, the village reporters travel day after day and mile after mile to visit new and expecting moms and their kids in their homes to check on their health and provide assistance when needed – saving countless lives in the process. The village reporters are incredible and inspiring women (we danced and sang with them before joining them as they worked.)

Since returning from the ONE Moms trip to Africa with the ONE Campaign, I’m constantly reminded of the village reporters and how, in many ways, we all have a duty to “check in on” and take care of each other, no matter on what side of the world we live.
