How Can We Fight Child Mortality?


In light of the Rotary President's emphasis to address child mortality issues in our local and world community, what ideas do you have about a specific need or project?

Please Blog your response below to give our committee of RuthAnn, Marilyn & Steve some ideas.

When looking at "local" child mortality issues, you need to consult with local professionals on this issue. There are three main sources of information and expertise: (1) the Health Dept., (2) the Hospital, and (3) Social Services. I would suggest that the committee touch base with one or more of the these.

Another place- possible the school system, depending on the type of project. We do the Dictionary Project annually with them already.

Please note that we did a successful project with the Health Dept in 2002-03 with the Hispanic Immunization Book project, "The Germ Patrol" with Dr. Garrett, the Chair of the Carteret Co. Health Department.
