Hi, my name is Siobhan Williams.  I'm very keen to become a lactation
consultant.  I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.  I have a little girl
off 27 months whom I am still breastfeeding.  I'm very involved in the La
Leche League although I have never become a member due to finacial reasons.
I have been hosting the La Leche League meeting at my house for the last year
and a half.  Unfortunately, as much as I love PE we do not have as much
support from moms as in other parts of the world.  We only have 3 leaders nad
two meetings a month, One on a Saturday and the other on a Tuesday.  I'm
getting irritated just sitting around and hosting meetings.  I want to get
out there.  There is not much money in PE but I do think the need for a
lactation consultant is important.  I would offer my services to anyone at a
very low cost.  I have given a talk on breastfeeding as well.  According to
my League leaders becoming a consultant is very hard work and it does cost.
We are having a League Conference here this year whichI'm really looking
forward to.  I would appreciate any information or advice you can give me.

Many Thanks

Siobhan
