Letter from OneMama Founder – Siobhan Neilland - on OneMama Updates
Nov. 1, 2012
Hello Sweet OneMama Family,
Wow!...
I made it through another adventurous trip to the OneMama Birthing and Health clinic in Uganda and now on my way back home to San Francisco.
It seems every trip gets more intense and complicated as I continue to do this work. It was another very long, challenging and interesting journey but we made major headway.

I am honored and in AWE!... with all of YOU!...
YOU..The OneMama family around that world has come together with donations and volunteering all these years , to make this clinic and the OneMama programs grow in ways that seemed impossible a short while ago!
We as a OneMama family have brought Light to a place where there was only darkness... Literally!.. The solar power has been installed and now for first time in History we have power and light in an area that has never had it and can have a properly lit clinic for babies to be born in.

Miracles Happen!...
This was our most successful trip we have ever had! We accomplished the impossible in a very short time with MANY challenges, obstacles and as always interesting adventures.
Apparently, miracles are what we depend on and what keeps the OneMama project alive. The challenges I endured to arrive at success this trip, once again made me question if I could keep doing this. Apparently , that is also a part of the equation of things falling into place on these trips.
Yes, I admit, I wanted to quit this time again, but all is good and I am back on the OneMama train again.
This is my life's work. The lesson I learned was to not get attached to any of the good or the bad, it just keeps changing no matter what your plans..and then the answers come in the process.

New Miracles that YOU helped create...
   • Solar Panels and Power Installed – We now have a fully self contained solar power system for lights,
     refrigerator for medicine, and computers.
   • New Delivery Bed for birthing mothers.
   • New Refrigerator to store new kinds of medicines.
   • Built all new clinic, birthing rooms, office and upgraded all rooms on facility to get a higher
     registration as a health center and get Ugandan Government support.
   • Tore down old and damaged clinic rooms and buildings unfit for use.
   • Top Local Community Elders and OneMama advisory community board are taking action on their own now to do
     fundraising for the clinic which in ways as never before.
   • Computers, new forms and reporting system in place to improve statistics and health reporting.
   • New Medicines and upgraded the supply list to include leading medicines.
   • We hired two new Registered nursing practitioners so that we can now have 7 days of health services
     instead of 5 days.
   • We now have upgraded the Crafts programs and educational Economic sustainability program for
     both International and Local market level.
   • Hired new Crafts Teacher and put in more robust program in place every week.
   • Distributed birthing kits to rural Traditional midwives who have no supplies In surrounding area's with
     our Birthing Kit Outreach program and partner BKFA.
   • New 2012 Clothing Designs for OneMama collection are now ready for distribution and to be submitted for stores.
   • Worked with SunSaluter to bring new solar technology and water purification to the clinic site

Siobhan's Personal Highlights on Trip...
   • My first bout with Malaria – I am on the mend now
   • Severe allergic reaction to the Malrone – (Anti Malaria meds) – caused my vulnerability to Malaria
   • African Rats... jumping in my bed while sleeping... twice
   • Car Breakdowns and Flat tires on side of highways in extremely dangerous area's
   • Crying with Mama Jamira Tears of Joy!.. with the first night of Light and power on the clinic grounds

Thanks to all of you who have been supporting us this year and during this trip.
