Dear friends:

Denise Arcoverde from WABA sent us this note on Lactivist and I pass it on
to you, in case you haven't seen it yet.

Dear friends,

One more time we're joining efforts to promote breastfeeding during World
Breastfeeding Week. The theme, this year, is "Breastfeeding: Education for
Life". And I'm so glad to write you to announce that we finally have our
1999' WBW website!

I'd like to thank Judy Canahuati who was our main writer for the 99'action
folder and, as always, she did a wonderful work!

Since our WBW theme is related to education, we created a "children's
corner" in our website. So, please, spread this information with your
friends and schools and we hope that it can be very useful to stimulate the
breastfeeding education with the kids!

So, run to the WABA Website - www.elogica.com.br/waba and click on WBW and
we hope you and your family will have fun with all this information:
