    About this ebook

    Action against malnutrition is needed more than ever. An additional US$10.3 billion a year is required from public resources to mount a successful attack against undernutrition on a worldwide scale. This would benefit over 360 million children in the 36 countries with the highest burden of undernutrition—home to 90 percent of the stunted children worldwide—and prevent 1.1 million child deaths. Since early childhood offers a special window of opportunity to improve nutrition, the bulk of the investment needs to be targeted between pre-pregnancy until two years of age.Scaling Up Nutrition: What Will It Cost? offers suggestions on how to raise these resources. This worthy investment will yield high returns in the form of thriving children, healthier families, and more productive workers. And it is essential to make progress on the nutrition and child mortality Millennium Development Goals and to protect critical human capital in developing economies. The human and financial costs of further neglect will be very high. This call for greater investment in nutrition is also opportune, at a time when global efforts to strengthen health systems provide a unique opportunity to scale up integrated packages of health and nutrition interventions, with common delivery platforms, and lower costs.Scaling Up Nutrition: What Will It Cost? has benefited from the expertise of many international agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and research institutions. The cooperation of so many practitioners is evidence of a growing recognition of the need to invest in nutrition interventions, and a growing consensus about how to deliver effective programs. This book will be of interest to policy makers, nutritionists, government officials, and all those interested in improving child nutrition and child health.

    Imagination is a wonderful thing. The mind can fathom almost anything the heart is willing to believe. For instance, I wanted a way to help others understand the anguish someone with mental and emotional issues goes thru and thru the power of imagination, I was able to create the story of Becka Lassiter and her journey to herself. Up until the most recent events, Becka's existance has been a random series of occurances. She awakens to find herself "Knee Deep in Crazy" andd has to face some harsh realitiies to make it back to higher ground. I too know the pain of emotional disablity. I was treated for PTSD and believe me, I had to come to some harsh realities. Achieving clarity is no easy feat, but if one is willing to accept the past and willing to let go of what happened, it can be done. One thing I noticed during my recovery is that there is a total lack of compassion for someone who is experiencing M/EI. She's crazy, or the one's who take notice to your dimentia like to call out their own personal diagnosis for what you are feeling. This is a form of bullying. Most people will not seek help for their condition because they fear it will stigmatize them and cause a more serious fate. It was certainly the factor in my case. I was sick and afraid to get the help I needed because I feared what others would think of me and how it would affect my lifestyle. Currently I am residing in Atlanta, Ga where I am looking for ways to help those who are in need of a support system for all those invisible illnesses. I intend to use every resource available to bring about a more tolerable environment for the aforementioned to recover.
