Come hear the stories, experiences, and reflections of a local midwife who,
along with her family, spent 7 month working as a primary health care
provider with rural Community Based Health Programs in the Philippines.

Learn about the people-centered and community-run alternative to failing
state-run health services in the context of a national democratic movement
for social change.  Find out more about the different ways communities
organize to meet their basic needs amidst economic crisis and severe hunger.

Support ongoing projects to expand Community Based Health Programs to poor
and exploited communities across the Philippines.
