About two to three weeks ago Angela from ILCA greeted me on the phone with, "You've got the WABA Fellowship".
For those unsure of what WABA is, here is a small synopsis from their website:
"The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is a global network of individuals & organisations concerned with the protection, promotion & support of breastfeeding worldwide.
WABA is in consultative status with UNICEF & an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC)."
ILCA (International Lactation Consultants Association) is a member organisation of WABA, and it is they who are sponsoring my Fellowship to work with WABA.
This blog of my experiences in Malaysia and with WABA was suggested by my friend Diana. I hope you'll find my journey interesting and fun to read about.
Congratulations Denise! Have a wonderful time. I applied too, but really happy for you.
