Progress in MDG

MDG ( Millennium Development Goals)

The article makes me feel really proud, because I can believe and know that there are thousands of people in the world trying to save people's lives and that the world leaders pledged to decrease the deaths under five by two thirds. It makes me feel glad that I am part of a world wanting to change for the better. The article also makes me feel depressed and sad because even thought lots of children are being given medicine, there are still so many children left to help. Some times I feel lucky that I have a high standard of living, but it also makes me feel helpless and just plain mean seeing that so many children are so unhappy.

They are making the changes by making the government and world leaders meet together to finalize decisions like free health care. This helps even the poor people that don't have enough money for health, take care of their families health, and decreases the amount of children dying. I think to continue this trend, more countries (not just the once listed on the cite) should be encouraged to have free health care. I also think the world leader should have more supporters and more aware people to encourage them into making the right decisions and fast.

I think the most confusing part of the article would be, when Jasmine Whitbread said that if health care was introduced in 2000, it would have saved more people, I was confused there because I thought it was introduced in 2000.

I think my over all statement to this article would be that, if the world leaders want to complete their eight goals, they should try a bit harder and try to get as many people as possible to make the goals come to life. I also think if the goals are succeeding at this rate, the world leaders might need a bit more time to have all eight goals done, more than 2015. And after having a comment like that, I think I would like to add that the world leaders and other helpers of the world are doing a great job on the goals.
