Introduction of Child Mortality Blog

          Children are an essential part of this world we live in. They are the future and they need to be treated in such a way that helps them to understand their potential and value. In this blog I focus on the main aspects of child mortality and what needs to be done in order to reduce it. The world has the abilities and tools to reduce child mortality significantly. However, not enough is being done and those tools are not being utilized to their full potential. Immunizations are a vital tool in reducing child mortality. The benefits of immunizations need to be incorporated into both parents and children’s educations in order for them to realize their importance. Another tool to reduce child mortality is to improve environments. A healthy environment results in healthy children. An obvious and perhaps the most well known way to reduce child mortality is preventing starvation by reducing hunger. No child should have to know the true agony of an empty stomach. I learned a lot in the creation of this blog and all that it contains. I hope that as you read it you will have an open heart filled with compassion for the millions of children in the world who battle starvation, disease, and death every day. I hope that this blog will inspire you to see past the selfish society many of us are absorbed in, and to experience the reality of child mortality and its tragedies.
