Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital

Mary Olive Smith produced the documentary, A Walk to Beautiful, about women afflicted with untreated fistual. We watch co-founder Dr. Catherine Hamlin discuss the work performed by the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia.

“It is very difficult,” says Ayehu, “Waiting for food to be thrown in my direction. I don’t mix with people. I live here away from others.”

My hope is that other bloggers will talk about this over the next few days to bring more needed attention to fistula. Take a few moments from making money *guys* to talk/blog this up.

A Walk To Beautiful - currently an estimated 100,000 women go untreated for fistula with another 9000 following suit each year. We as “probloggers” can make a difference. Either blog about the subject or send money their way. Thank you.
