Hello all,

I just got a call from the chairwomen of the Dutch BFHI office "Zorg voor
Borstvoeding", Adrienne de Reede. She told me there is a reasonable change
the BFHI office will stop working at March '99 since the subsidy from the
government will stop. The office that gives out the subsidies ,  "ZON" ,
will probably not renew the subsidy.

We start a letter action to the members of the parliament to prevent this.
I was wondering of you, people who are working in the BFHI field, but also
others, could write a letter or a fax to our parliament.

We really need this office.  Out bf rates are so extremely low (17% at 43
months), and the bf management miserable.

If you wan to write, please write to:

2e kamer
Vaste Commissie voor VWS
Postbus 20018
2500 EA  Den Haag
The Netherlands
fax + 31 70 3183440

If you write or fax, could you drop me a note so that I have an overview of
what is happening?

Thank you so much!!!!
