I'm puzzled. Can somebody explain why these support groups and peer
counselors are necessary, when LLL is doing this? I am really concerned
about the possibilities of misinformation and lack of accountability
that could arise. Is it that there is no LLL Group in your community?
That LLL is not doing something you feel would be beneficial to moms?
Wouldn't resources be better directed towards enabling LLL to do more in
the community? Those mothers sound like potential Leaders to me.
