We as a global society work tirelessly to ensure the wellbeing of our financial assets and stability, our commodities and resources. Yet, while we may not always do our best, they are looked upon highly, and frequently. And while we have the knowledge and energy to purse such fights, we continue to neglect our children, children who are our true resources and best assets. It makes one think…”are we really progressing, if we do not see our children with such value?” Consumed by greed and excess want, the world has allowed children to too often fall by the waste side, and it is for that reason that todays children suffer needlessly through violence, war, poverty, disease, and so much more.
