Dear Ana and Fionuala,
This came too late, otherwise i would have love to participate in this symposia. Maternal mortality rate in Nigeria is increasing on a daily basis. in our organization we have lost close to 5 women given birth this year, the sad news is that the mother dies living the child, just last week one woman died in my community during child birth of ceasarian, the baby is alive, presently Mrs. Joseph is caring for twins from two weeks old. I think its really an issue. We have been campaigning for safe motherhood but there is still a lot to be done especially at rural level.

Yours Truly,

Hi Ana, 


Are there groups in the FTF working on maternal health issues that you 
think would be interested in particpating in this symposium in September? 
 Sounds like it would be an interesting opportunity to raise awareness in a 
sector with little knowledge of the issues. 


A good way of getting travel costs to the GCAP Global Assembly covered as 
well! 


Thanks, 


Fionuala

Dear 
WRA members,
 
The 
WRA Global Secretariat has announced a call to all National Alliances to 
nominate up to three exceptional, dynamic young female champions of maternal 
health to participate in a competition to attend the White Ribbon Alliance 
symposium on September 20, 2010 in New York City.
 
The 
symposium will be held during the week of the Clinton Global Initiative's Annual 
Meeting (September 21-23) and the United Nations' summit on assessing the 
progress of the Millennium Development Goals (September 20-22). At the United 
Nations General Assembly maternal and child health will be front-and-center 
thanks to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Joint Action Plan announced in June 
2010.The Secretary-General is seeking commitments from all sectors to provide 
greater financial resources, make maternal and child health a cornerstone of 
foreign policy and international development agendas, and improve the delivery 
of health care services to those communities and countries most in 
need.
 
The 
WRA symposium aims not only to address those issues but also to celebrate the 
next generation of maternal and child health advocates and highlight our guiding 
principle that people from all walks of life can contribute in their own way to 
the global effort to put an end to needless deaths from pregnancy and 
childbirth. (Note, the symposium audience is almost entirely 
U.S.-based.)
 
The 
nominee must be 30 years or below of age. The nominee has to submit a three to 
five minute long filmed speech discussing their views and feelings on maternal 
health in their country that addresses an audience of leading New York women who 
are not familiar with the particular health issues facing women in that 
country.
 
The 
videos may be submitted in the nominees' language of choice, but a written 
translation must be provided. We also require an information form for all of the 
nominees and have provided guidelines for formatting the video and a consent 
form for the WRA to use their short film. These additional forms must be 
submitted with the nominee's video in order for them to be eligible for 
selection. The selected participants will be staying in New York City from 
September 16th - 22nd (approximate dates) and must possess a working knowledge 
of English.
 
All 
nomination materials must be submitted electronically to the WRA India by July 
18, 2010 at nmittal en cedpaindia.org. The nominations will be screened by a 
small group and three nominations will be sent to WRA Global secretariat for 
final selection. 
 
The 
selected participants will be notified. No extension will be granted under any 
circumstances due to the timeline for visas and other arrangements.  
Materials received after July 18, 2010 will not be considered. Further 
instructions on participation are included.
 
We 
are hopeful that the strengthened collaboration at the country level together 
with encouraging the next generation of women health advocates will result in 
greater progress towards improving maternal health and achieving Millennium 
Development Goals 4 & 5.
 
Best 
regards,
Deepa
