Erin volunteers as birthing mom and the 'midwife' checks her abdomen as they prepare for a mock birth.

After birthing her own 11 babies, Dechen Bazong takes on the role of midwife easily. (She was the only student willing to volunteer in the beginning.)

  Demonstrating clean birth
procedures, the assistant covers the birthing area with a clean, plastic sheet after washing her hands and arms.
The sheet is part of the Zonta Birth Kit, one of many basic kits donated by Zonta of Australia for birthing women.
