WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 1997 THEME

Breastfeeding: The Natural Way!

Dear Friend,

WABA is happy to announce that the 1997 theme will focus on the ecological
aspect of breastfeeding.  In 1997, governments will have to review actions
taken to fulfill their 1992 Environment commitments made during the United
Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio, Brazil. It is
therefore an
excellent opportunity for groups organising WBW to link with environment
groups in pushing for a more sustainable world food system --  a call that
will also come from the November 1996 World
Food Summit, in which breastfeeding is included.

The WBW 1997 Calendar will be mailed to you in January 1997.

Please note that:
World Breastfeeding Week Dates

World Breastfeeding Week will continue to be celebrated from 1 - 7 August
annually.  Individual countries may choose to organise their national
breastfeeding week on other dates but this does not change the international
dates for the WBW campaign.

In the meantime, good luck with organising a great campaign and keep us
informed.  The  WABA Secretariat is working towards producing next year's
Action Folder by early 1997 to give you more ideas for action.

Yours sincerely,

Sarah Amin
WBW Coordinator
