Quick update

I walked home with the nun who is a nurse at the clinic and speaks pretty good English, and I asked her about the babies I saw on Monday (she usually works in maternity, so I knew she would know. Also Rwandese's favorite past time is talking about anything and everything and everyone). She told me that it was a spontaneous abortion caused by the mother working too hard. Women here are so strong and work so hard, in the fields and carrying pounds and pounds of produce up and down the hills to the markets. This particular woman had walked all the way to a big town to sell at the market there. The town is almost 3 hours by bus! She got home and felt some pain so she came to the clinic. She was very sad they had died and she will be burying them in her garden. The nun thinks they were 5 months old. If she was in the U.S. they probably could've been saved.
