Am dropping by to say thank you very much for the wonderful lecture you gave during our convention at Cavite. ( Just to refresh your memory, i was the guy holding the microphone while you were demonstrating during your talk. )
Would like to explore the possibility for you to train our midwives on the Lamaze technique ( and others). In fact if our finances will allow us , I would like to invite you to Davao for a trraining session with our midwives. I think that sessions like that will tremendously help our poor and disadvantaged pregnant women who can ill-afford an “unnecessary cesarean section”.
again… Thank you… BTW , I promised you I’d visit your blog!
Dr. Warlie Vicente
President ,WPFI
Dear Dr. Warlie,
So nice of you to visit my site and to invite me to Davao. I would love to help you and give training, lecture to the midwives of Davao but I don’t know if I am qualified. I am but a childbirth educator. My specialty and passion is in the field of natural birthing and breastfeeding.
Another thing i would have to consider is my availability. I am loaded with work. Maybe I could give a similar lecture I did for the midwives in Cavite if you like. I am willing to do that but you need to tell me in advance what the dates are so that I could block it off.
I thank you for your trust in me and pray for more power to your group.
Yours truly,
Chiqui
