Real lives
While we worry about what computer game addiction and childhood obesity
are doing to Australian kids, many, many children around the world are
struggling simply to stay alive. The three big threats to millions of
children are poverty, armed conflict and HIV/AIDS. Same as last year,
and then there was the tsunami. The State of the World's Children 2005
(http://www.unicef.org/publications/index_24432.html) has the lowdown
on the problems and what is being done to deal with them. Answer: not
enough. Around 10. 6 million kids died last year before reaching their
fifth birthday. The report has a statistical tool, photographs and real
life stories, not all of them grim.
