Zonta Caboolture partnered with the Parish of St Michaels, Caboolture, to prepare 1200 birthing kits this week, destined for developing countries.  These kits help prevent infection and give a healthier birth for babies and mothers.

The kits were purchased for $5 each and consist of a 1m square of plastic, 4 rubber gloves, 3 pieces of string, a scapple, a piece of soap and 5 pieces of gauze.

Thank you to all the Zontians and friends who came along to birthing kit packing this week.

Sister Veronica, Sister Maria, Wayne and her team of helpers were amazing, the team in the kitchen provided and put out a beautiful morning tea/lunch with plenty of tea and coffee.

My sincere thanks go to Edith Fogg for driving 2 hours in the rain to be there for us all. I don’t think Edith will ever want to miss a birthing kit day.

Thank you to Pam B for presenting me with my ” 2025 Birthing Kit Champion ” badge. I feel honoured and humble.
