All children are born into this world full of endless possibility, sadly many will face hardship and struggle for the entire duration of their childhood. The majority of children's struggles are preventable, disease, poor education, hunger, lack of proper sanitation and clean drinking water. And it is these preventable diseases which hinder the possibilities of our worlds future leaders, and rob the world of so much greatness.
