Day 14: Medical Care for Street Children in India

Today is my last day on my blog, and I decided to write about street children in India. There is an organization that provides medical care for Indian street children. This organization is called the Charities Advisory Trust. This British charity organization says that, "dedicated to finding practical methods of redesign inequalities and injustice, our method is to unleash a charity's entrepreneurial impulses and curb its excesses." The actual charity isn't really as important as the work they are doing.

In India, there are high levels of poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy and a growing HIV/AIDS problem, just to name a few things. These detriments of the high Indian population have contributed to India's 18 million street children. According to the Child Health Site, "Among children with no safety net, no fixed address, and no money, infections, broken bones, and other simple, easily corrected health problems go unprevented and untreated." Basically, these street children face much more difficulty than they are currently facing when something bad happens to their health and/or well-being.

Luckily, your $10 donation to the Charities Advisory Trust through the Child Health Site will cover a child's medical coverage for a year. Please consider donating.

Personally, I am not very familiar with the cost of health care, but I'm positive that I have it, and if I didn't, and something happened to me, I would be in bad shape and it would be a serious financial hardship for my family to pay for my expenses, if we had to have something done to me. It is really important that these children can at least receive basic medical care. '

This is the last day that I'm writing an entry for my blog, and I would like to thank you personally for reading. It means a lot to me that you care enough to see what's going on in the world, and hopefully, I've inspired you to try to donate or spread awareness for these causes. I don't think that this project should be viewed as looking at the bad things in the world; I think that you should view this as a global community facing adversity together. Thank you for reading.
