The death of children by malnutrition is
a shocking disgrace.
The passion for having children bears with
it the responsibility for their proper
care.
Instead, we squander our resources on hate
and the scramble for material wealth.
And the children continue to die.
It takes only a few minutes reflection to
realize we are trotting down the wrong path.

Hate is probably the most inefficient method
for resolving arguments, and each of us,
like it or not, will go through the final
door without a penny.
By waking up to this reality we can make
ever so much better use of our precious lives.
And, giving about one hour of our time and
the money we earn in that amount of time
(6 billion man hours and around 3 billion
dollars), we could stop malnutrition from
killing innocent children.
Probably there is no one who would deny an
hour of his time to help a dying child. Today
is the day for decision making - to act toward
giving these children a fair chance at life.

There are many things we can do.
One is to provide emergency supplementary food that will give the missing nutrients. There is one food that experience has shown
contains exactly what kwashiorkor and marasmic
children need.
