About the Ebook
This book documents the stages of a research project aimed to improve the maternal mortality rate of women in remote, rural communities in Nepal. Community developed songs and dances were used to communicate health messages to improve knowledge and develop positive attitudes towards better pregnancy and childbirth issues within the communities of the intervention areas. The results were very impressive. It is hoped that this method may be used in other areas of Nepal and other areas of the world where the maternal mortality rate is high.

I now live in Canberra, Australia but I've enjoyed exploring the world, camera in hand, for over 50 years. I enjoy meeting people, learning about different cultures, experiencing new environments and capturing the essence of people and places through my photography. Over the last twenty years, I have travelled extensively with my friend and fellow photographer, David Young, often to places off the beaten track. The focus of our travels has also included discovering family history, filming the beauty of gardens and seeking out wildflowers. David is a horticulturist and has been a radio broadcaster and television presenter. I've spent a lifetime in education, and I enjoy sharing my travel experiences and photography through my books and my writing.
