Survey: Village near Bandi-Amir lake

Close to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world...Bandiamir and it is being declared a historical world treasure, we found a poor village and as usual we were welcomed sweetly. This village had a husband/wife team who were being trained to assist the villagers with health issues but we had the opportunity to see a number of medical problems as they were sure that Mahbouba was a doctor. In this village we were told that to have a mother die was certain death for the infant as there was no way to feed the baby. Woman do not wet-nurse as their work load is too heavy to accomodate two infants and they have had no luck with cows milk demonstrated by a poor three year old that they showed us who apparently had not thrived on cow's milk. A humorous moment, as an elder jolly woman told Mahbouba about a birth helper who lost the new born during the birth-apparently only to find the baby in the voluminous drawers of the mother later. She said to us "Send us someone competent enough to find the baby in the pants of a woman...and we will be happy". She was quite amused at herself as Mahbouba endeavored to translate this to me for survey purposes.
