"Children are our most valuable natural resource." -Herbert Hoover, 31st U.S. President

Children are our most valuable natural resource, yet we do not prize them and treasure them as we should, but treat them as disposable items. Children across the globe daily are abuse physically, mentally, and sexually; forced to work in harsh and unbearable conditions; faced to bare witness to violence and war; suffer from preventable diseases; go without education; live in hunger.  And while we may treasure and value those within our sight, we must not fail those in which we cannot see, as all children are resources to be treasured.

Children are our future and should be seen as valuable investments, invest in them wisely, invest in them well and we will see a brighter future!
