Save the Children

Today, humanitarian organization Save the Children announced that the child death rates for those under the age of five in the poorest of nations have drastically decreased. The exceptions include the war ridden Iraq and certain areas in Sub-Saharan Africa that have been greatly afflicted by HIV/AIDS. The organization states that this improvement has been due to the work done by nations to improve health care, family planning, and hygenic values.

i really love this article because it shows that there is hope for nations that have allowed their policies to change because of the drastic poverty that has afflicted them. it also draws focus on the great problems that War and HIV/AIDS have caused in bettering the living situations for developing countries. this only means that we need a cure, and we need to find more peaceful ways to gain means. i still think that people in the US do not know enough about the poverty that goes on outside of out country. hopefully people could wake up see what needs to be done. we need to find cheaper treatments, have more focus on finding a cure for HIV/AIDS, and find a way to peacefully approach the problems in war ridden nations.
