Last week and this, ONE volunteers in New Jersey, Nebraska, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, Minneapolis, Illinois, Ohio, Kansas, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, and Alabama are dropping of thousands of letters to congressman and senators asking them to co-sponsor the Global Child Survival Act. A volunteer in Minnesota sent me this email while she was preparing to go. I wanted to share.

As I was writing a personal handwritten letter to Senator Coleman, this is what came out when I listened to my heart. I didn’t get all the talking points in but it doesn’t matter. I hope it reaches him.
Imagine saving the life of a child.
Imagine the joy in the mother’s eyes.
Imagine the gratitude.
Imagine what that child has to offer the world.
Imagine the possibilities.
Now multiply that by 10 million.
Every year.
Imagine THAT possibility.That possibility can be reality, if you co-sponsor the Global Child Survival Act.
