Save the Children makes Reality TV in Liberia

One year ago we filmed T-Girl giving birth to baby Melvin -- footage later used in our TV advert, First Day. Now, we're thrilled to announce that Melvin has just celebrated his 1st birthday, happy and healthy. All thanks to the skills of midwife Watta.  MIDWIVES SAVE LIVES!

We Westerners are programmed to think in sophisticated, complicated terms.  We have our high technology, and believe firmly that it is the means by which to save the world.  We have our years of education, and our credentials behind us, but what much of the world may need are simply the basic things.  A perfectly qualified and compassionate midwife, not a physician, can save lives.
