When is it okay to deny a hungry child a meal? When does it become accepted to walk past children bundled together on the street corner beneath cardboard boxes on the way to your house with two open beds and a couch? When does starving children in Ethiopia become the norm? Does one tire of hearing about millions of children dying of starvation in Africa? That malaria, TB and diarreha are the biggest killers of children in the world - all of which are preventable. Medicine for malaria and TB cost about 50 cents. I just don't get it. How can a world that claims to be just, loving, and caring of the most vulnerable allow 30,000 under 5's die everyday. The problem seems insurmountable, but if we were just to band together, determined to save these precious lives, it would be amazing how fast 30,000 children can be saved. If everyone were to care for one vulnerable child, vulnerability would disappear.
