An editorial in today's Houston Chronicle shared the good news:
The United Nations Children's Fund reports that for the first time since record-keeping began, in 1960, global child deaths have reached a record low, falling below 10 million per year to 9.7 million, down from almost 13 million in 1990. While too many children still die before their fifth birthday, usually from easily preventable causes, this milestone illustrates how much can be accomplished in a comparatively short time and bodes well for greater gains in the future.
Thanks to all who helped us reach this milestone -- and all who are working to help us reach the next. Please use the comments to tell us how you're doing it.
