Child Mortality Rate Declines Globally

I picked an article from the New York Times that deals with the how the rate of child mortality has declined over the years. I feel that people show read this article because in all honestly it is an uplifting matter. With everything there is that is happening around the world it is nice to know that something good is happening. Globally the efforts to help save children’s lives have been very successful. It sights in the article that efforts have “cut the number of children under 5 who died last year to 8.8 million.” That is a remarkable amount of lives save. The article sheds light on real life stories, statistics on child mortality and ways to ensure the health of a child. I feel really good about reading this article aside from all the other disputes there is out there. It’s promising to know we are doing something right.
