When I read this article, I felt that we have making a lot of difference, because 10,000 children are A LOT of children, and it's great that that amount of children are not dying everyday.It says that decrease in deaths can be the reason of increasing in immunizations against measles and other diseases, the growing use of insecticide-treated bednets to prevent malaria, and Vitamin A supplements, which help boost compromised immune systems.
i think we need the world's attention, to save as many children as we could, because although we just donate 2 or 3 ringgit, but if we add the money, it would be thousands and millions of dollars. Many children are dying because of diarrhea, but to us, it's not even a disease. Anyone can cure that if they have money. However, diarrhea, especially for children can very dangerous, because they don't have access to clear water, and if you're having diarrhea, that means you're under dehydration. If EVERYONE can donate a little amount of money instead of buying fashionable clothes we CAN save many people.
"If free health care had been introduced in 2000 when world leaders promised to reduce child mortality by two-thirds, the lives of more than 2 million children could have been saved by now," said Jasmine Whitbread, the head of Save the Children. I agree with her. If we started the process earlier, we could have saved MUCH more children than now. However, it doesn't mean that we are not doing a great job. However, if we give a little bit of attention, we CAN break reduce more under-five death by 2015.
