Finally, change is happening. As UNICEF said "And the efforts to keep children healthy are becoming more effective as time goes by, says the UN Children Fund (UNICEF), which released the latest numbers last week." Over 10, 000 fewer children are dying every day, because of the attempt and hard work UNICEF has put into this project, to create a change and decrease the number of infant mortality rates. This is great news. It means that we as a community, we as a world can stop child deaths, caused by preventable diseases. And the goal set, to end poverty and end child deaths by 2015 can be successfully accomplished. By holding vaccinations camps, giving out bed nets preventing malaria and installing water pumps around villages, less children are unhealthy and have a better and longer life to live. Obviously the country leaders had a huge part in letting UNICEF enter various countries and villages to hold different activities, but are all countries letting this happen? Are all country leaders taking under consideration the promise they made 9 years ago? After reading the article and giving it a little thought I realized how things are really changing. 24, 000 is a lot of children, but now 10, 000 of those survive, because we are trying, because we are helping. But is it enough? I think we need to end this completely, but what am I doing, saying this doesn’t change things, getting involved does. So try to help, cause it will change the world.
