If you have a chance, read the the Top 10 from the past few years. Read them with your children. Though it is heartbreaking, it is a learning experience. It let us know where work is being done and what work is needed. It gives us information to pass on to our friends and leaders.

Thank you so much for suggesting this to your audience. I read these annually and try and share what I can, but it's usually overwhelming to people and it's hard to not appear negative when your always talking about heartbreaking situations.

The more people that read these the more we'll be able to keep them in the news through out the year not just in one report.
