Today is sad day in adoption land. One of our new adoptive friends just found out that her little girl (still in Ethiopia) has active TB. Last week another friend lost their child who was still in Ethiopia, only weeks from being brought home. A few weeks before that another friend lost their child to pneumonia.. This shouldn't be happening.
From the WHO www site:
More than 11 million children die each year before reaching the age of five; of them, 70%, or around 8 million children, die from one or more of five causes: pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, malaria and malnutrition.
When was the last time you knew someone who lost their child b/c of diarrhea or malnutrition?
There are many ways to get involved, choose something that speaks to you.. here are some that speak to me. Leave more suggestions in the comments if you want to. thanks!
