Peace Hero


Robin Lim is a mother, grandmother, author, poet, midwife and educator who lives in Bali with her husband and children. Ibu (mother) Robin is a Certified Professional Midwife, with the North American Registry of Midwives and Ikatan Bidan Indonesia. She is a founder and executive director for Yayasan Ibu Bumi Sehat Birth Center in Bali. Robin splits her time between the birth center and the Tsunami Relief Clinic in Samatiga Aceh, Sumatra. Along with receiving babies, Ibu Robin is an author. Many of her articles, stories and poems have been published in Midwifery Today magazine and The Birthkit newsletter. And along with all that Robin has been given the Alexander Langer International Peace Award.

Her parents met and married in 1954, in the mountain city of Baguio, on the island of Luzon, Philippines. Robin's father, Robert Arnold Jehle was of Irish~German~Native American descent. Her mother, Cresencia Munar Lim is a blend of Filipino~Chinese ancestry. Robin Teresa Jehle was born in 1956, in Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, as their first child. The next year the family moved to New Jersey, where Robin's sister, Christine plus three brothers, Robert, Carl and Gregory, were born.
I think she has dedicated her life for the betterment of humanity. She has found a problem and she has used her values and skills to help the people of Indonesia. Her abilities have made a change and her qualifications have preserved the lives of the Indonesians from the natural disasters. She has truly made a difference and I hope more people like her can do the same.

    You need to make it your own words - some of it can be quoted, but then you need to reference it.
    Put in a bibliography.
