Born on
the Trail
Dampaan Mission School
It was 4:00 o’clock in the
morning and it was a joyful dawn for a pregnant woman and her companion to
prepare sweet potatoes to be delivered to the nearest barrio. They walked happily and it takes 1 ½ hour
hike going down with their heavy loads which we think it’s very hard for a
pregnant woman to carry more or less twenty kilos of sweet potatoes but because
of poverty they oblique to do such things.
After buying their needs they went back to Dampaan at 11:00 o’clock in
the morning. It was a sunny day
carrying their loads going up to the mountain and she felt stomachache for she
was almost to deliver that baby. Then
they look rest in the cottage beside the trail.
A child was delivered there with the help of an inexperienced
woman. After delivering her companion
went ahead for assistance leaving the woman with the small boy – she told a
small boy to find a bamboo stick to cut the cord of the newly born baby. After a few minute She took her baby and walk
slowly going up to their home. They are
happy with their children though the are poor.
