Description :
The first time Mercedes helped another woman to give birth, she was 16 years old, when her mother was out and she had to take care of the situation. She calles it "catching the baby". But her work goes way beyond the job of being a midwife. It has become a craft of love, gratitude with life and generosity towards others. At 82 years old, this tired woman is still helping to bring children into the world, especially to women without economic resources or access to health clinics.
