Just turning on a faucet brings clean water into our homes. We drink it, bathe in it, cook with it, and clean with it. But, “783 million people in the world do not have access to safe water”. (WHO/UNICEF) Consider walking miles to gather water, some of it so dirty and filled with parasites that it can kill. (via Safe Water is Lacking #WorldWaterDay - BrainFoggles)

I first learned about ending child trafficking back in 2004 when Natalie Grant shared this disturbing issue. During a visit to India, she met a counselor (a previous sex slave) who helps women and girls who are trafficked in the sex trade. Ms. Grant was so touched that she formed a nonprofit that helps women and girls in the US and other countries. And this topic remained with me all these years.

SHE or Sustainable Health Enterprises enable women in developing countries to work when they have their period. This is an issue that I have never considered, but without sanitary pads, girls and women miss school and work. (via SHE Enterprises Enable Women to Work - BrainFoggles)
I think back to my first pregnancy where my only worries were morning sickness and swollen feet in the last trimester. I gained weight. I and my baby were healthy. Sure, labor was tough, but the thought of dying never crossed my mind. (via Gifts That Give Back – Maternity Worldwide - BrainFoggles)

Those that serve are trained in just a few weeks and supervised before they are sent out on their own. They teach proper hygiene, nutrition and family planning. They are able to diagnose and treat common illnesses. With further training, they can give immunizations and deliver babies. The financial cost of training and employing frontline health workers is minimal, but they accomplish so much – teaching healthier ways of living which prevents sickness, immunizing which prevents disease, saving the lives of mothers who are giving birth and the babies who are born. They save lives and there’s no way of putting a value on that. Nominations for The REAL Awards are taken until November 29, 2012. Winners will be announced the week of January 13, 2013. It’s time to recognize these outstanding people. (via Recognize Health Workers with the REAL Awards #TheRealAwards | BrainFoggles)
Parents, it’s up to us to set examples for our children. Don’t hide them from the sadness in the world, help them to give back. During Halloween, an exciting time for children, teach them that they can help children who are less fortunate than them by trick-or-treating for UNICEF.
