Description: "Afterword by Art Weinstein on the Namitambo Baby Clinic: It began in 1965 when two Peace Corps Volunteers decided to do something to combat infant mortality. The result was the first-ever Peace Corps baby clinic in Malawi, at Namitambo, in the Southern Region. It was a collaboration between the Peace Corps and the Malawi Ministry of Health. It served as a prototype for the Peace Corps’ future nationwide Baby Clinic operations in Malawi, paving the way for the success of the “Malawi XI” (1966-1968) and “Malawi XIV” (1968-1970) “Under-Fives’ Baby Clinic” projects."
