The Ad Council and Save The Children launch new project See Where The Good Goes
Back in May 2010, I published information about “The Lipstick Portraits: Artists and celebrities take on modern day slavery” whose purpose was to bring about awareness about modern day slavery- women and child trafficking worldwide- through a series of portraits where the subject wore red lipstick.
Having published info about the Lipstick Portraits, I received some information about another project called “See Where The Good Goes” put forth by the Ad Council and Save the Children. The purpose of “See Where The Good Goes” is to raise awareness about the importance of local health workers in developing countries. There are a variety of ways that you can read more and support this initiative, and I have listed them below:

Take a moment to check out this project and spread the word. From their Facebook page:
Save the Children and the Ad Council are working together to mobilize citizen action in the U.S. to help local health workers help save more children worldwide.
Frontline local health workers help children all over the world survive threats like newborn complications, pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and malnutrition. But global estimates suggest we need 4.2 million more health workers in developing countries. Sadly, one child dies every 3 seconds largely from preventable and treatable causes due to the lack of basic health care.
Help local health workers bring the good to the children who need it most.
Of the children under the age of 5 who die each year, almost 2/3 could be saved with the simple low-cost interventions delivered by health workers in clinics and in their communities. With attention from developing country governments and donor nations, we can help them bring lifesaving care to more hard-to-reach communities and make the survival of children a reality worldwide.
You are one step away from helping children around the world survive.
A special thank you to GoodGoes.org for sending me a pedometer so I can measure my own steps and stay healthy. Thousands of local health workers walk miles each week to check on newborns and treat children with life threatening illnesses. The pedometer I’m being given also serves as reminder that I am just one step away from supporting local health workers. Thanks again! ~Affrodite
