We are so excited about our Babywearing class on February 21st! It has been a while since we had a babywearing class. We will be talking about the different styles of carriers and the different companies who make them.
As part of the fun we will also be giving away a Rockin Baby Hero sling! We will do a drawing the night of the class for the attendees. We are so excited about this! We love Rockin baby slings and we love the mission that the Hero sling stands for. We felt bad though, for everyone unable to attend the class so Rockin Baby stepped up and offered one for us to giveawy online too, so don't despair if you aren't able to come to Richmond and come to the class. You still have a chance to win a Hero sling from Rockin Baby!
So, here are the details:
Rockin Baby owner, Kathryn Wiley, is an amazing woman! When she started to use her company to improve the world, it was no surprise to those of us who know her. Kathryn started the Mother to Mother mission. For each of her slings sold anywhere in the world she donates a Hero sling to women in Haiti! She travels there herself (yes, I am begging to tag along on one of these trips) and works with an organization to show each woman how to wear the sling and how to use it in their daily lives! The importance of this is unmeasureable. Haiti suffers from one of the highest mortality rates in a third world country. Often times mothers are forced to choose between working to provide food for their families, and leaving their children. The donation of a sling can remove this choice and allow her to keep her child with her and support her family. This can literally save lives!
Kathryn also felt it was very important to not only provide an extremely high quality sling and pouch but to be able to have them made in America. We are lucky enough that they are made in Richmond, right in our own backyards! This way Rockin Baby can closely monitor the quality of their products and the fulfillment of their Mother to Mother program.
In our opinion this Rockin Mama has done a great thing with her fantastic products! We are so happy to be working with her for the giveaways this week!
Here are the technical details:
