Save the children - No child born to die - Urgent need for Health workers

Yep the kids have been monsters and as always this internet fatty is hungry (not eating does that) tired and irritable. But that is not as important an issue as there is going on right now! And we need your help.

While I'm warbelling on we are on a mission. A mission to get our voices heard. People of b3ta, People of Youtube, People of Twitter. Join with us as we stand together as one to have a voice for the voiceless.

(Disclaimer! the following excert with exception of my 100 Words has been copied and pasted)

Half of the 8 million children who die each year are in Africa, yet Africa has only 3% of the world’s doctors, nurses and midwives. You can find out more here. 

So I am asking you. Please, please take a few moments to sign the latest petition. Have your voice heard.

NO CHILD IS BORN TO DIE

Gemma at Hello it's Gemma and Michelle at Mummy from the Heart have set us bloggers a challenge. To unite us all, and show our government and the world that we have a voice and we think that every childdeserves the right to live.

As you're reading this, Chris at Thinly Spread is  in New York with Save the Children.  On Tuesday she will be at the UN fighting for the rights of thousands of people - as she said herself, she will be the 'voice of the voiceless.' It is hoped that by Tuesday, 100 UK bloggers will have written a post like thisone , and will also have written 100 words about a health worker who has made a difference in their own lives.

Here are my 100 words: 

I don't ever think Vee will truly realise that she's our little miracle.
After losing two previously we were fortunate to have assistance as and when required for the awesome team at the L&D. Without their help, from conception to chaotic birth they had our backs. The day came our baby was to arrive, all went well until our little lump went into distress, and falling asleep.

Thankfully the team in the theatre jumped into action, kicking me out. Doing the C-section and resuscitating Vee, bringing her back to life.

Without there dedication Vee would not be here. Thank you!

In africa, many women and children will not be as fortunate as Vee. And I agree it has to change.
