					<description><![CDATA[<p>The audience sat quietly as six mothers climbed into a makeshift canoe. With urgency on their faces, they began paddling through an imaginary waterway while a heavily pregnant woman sat in the middle, crying out in pain as labour progresses unabated.</p>
<p>The paddling action by the mother was vigorous as they tried harder to reach medical help before it was too late. A plight of all mothers’ struggles in a remote setting like this dramatized scenario.</p>
<p>Presented only as a drama to officially open the EDEN Community Mass Training, the scene reflected a harsh reality faced by the people of Wowobo Village in Ward 19 of Kikori District, Gulf Province.</p>
<p>For decades, mothers, children, and sick patients from this remote community have travelled long distances by canoe through swampy waterways and river channels to access some form of basic health services.</p>
