I'm still looking for people who might be willing to host a budding 
lactation consultant from Uganda for a few days after the ILCA 
Conference.  Josephine is a native Ugandan, single mother of two young 
daughters who is working tirelessly to promote and support breastfeeding 
in her area of Uganda despite severely limited resources.  She is 
attending ILCA and presenting a session, then staying to take a 
nutrition and wellness course by Dr. Sears' group in Denver.  She'll be 
spending a few days in Austin after ILCA ends and then will fly to 
Denver the evening of Wednesday, July 28.  Her course starts August 6.  
So far I have one lactation consultant in Denver who has volunteered to 
host her, but I am hoping to find more.

If you work in lactation and have a bed for her for a night or two (or 
three), please contact me.  If she had the opportunity to job-shadow 
someone who works in private practice or a hospital, or attend a La 
Leche League meeting, that would be a bonus.  Please contact me ASAP for 
more information if you might consider this.  I'm involved because our 
group sponsors Josephine through ILCA's Partner Program.  Unfortunately, 
ILCA is nowhere near Wisconsin this year or finding hosts for Josephine 
would be easy.  If you'd like to read more about her and see some 
pictures of her working with mothers, please go to our website:
