From Lebanon to Russia with Iran inbetween!
I am back after sitting my Lactation Consultant exam in Utrecht on 30th July and a short holiday in the French Ardenne.
I have worked with a lovely family from Lebanon who were French and Arabic speaking,( tricky for me), a single mother from Iran with 7 children and am now with an Ukranian/Russian family.
My job is definately never boring and I love meeting different people from so many different cultures.
Sometimes cultures clash with the Dutch way of doing things but I have learnt to provide information and accept that people have different ways of doing things.
After all when I leave the parents will decide what to do not me!
I am priviledged to be part of such an amazing event in the first week of a baby's life and to be able to help and support families along the way.

HOLA!
What a wonderful experience, a week with a Columbian family who shared their home, their culture and their beautiful baby boy with me.
I found it difficult to leave and felt so appreciated for the time and help I had invested.
Muchas gracias, ( hope I spelled it correctly!)
Now have to study 30th July is very near!
Adios.
