New Year's Resolution for Newborns: You can be a part

"In many communities around the world, children are not named until they survive the first month of life. Among all children, newborns have the highest risk of death. More than 40 percent of deaths in children under five occur in the first month of life. The good news is that newborn mortality rates declined over 15% last year. That kind of progress is achievable again this year with help from people like you."

I've been in this site- savethechildren.org which visions a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation. We could take part on the top five new year resolution for the newborns which are:


  1. Eat Healthy Food.
    There are few things more hazardous to your New Year’s diet than the afternoon snack attack at the vending machine. Instead of using those coins to get candy, put them in a jar earmarked for a donation to our Newborn and Child Survival campaign. You’ll be surprised at how quickly it adds up! In no time, you’ll have raised the $100 it takes to provide equipment for a midwife to resuscitate newborns. Read More
  2. Get Fit.
    In January, gyms are packed, but by Valentine’s Day they’re practically ghost towns. Keep your motivation up by training for run, walk or other sporting event to raise funds for newborn lives. It’s a lot easier to stay on the treadmill when you think of the little ones who are counting on you. Here’s a link to make it easy for your friends to sponsor you or join in the fun! Read More
  3. Manage Stress.
    Psychologists know giving to others is good for you — they call it a “Helper’s High”. Did you know you can help Save the Children carry out our mission just by doing things you would do anyway? Just by searching on the web, shopping online or socializing with friends? Here are some suggestions for doing good while doing your favorite internet activities. Read More
  4. Spend More Time with Family.
    Watching our fun video series — “Dirty Words” with your kids. They’ll learn some valuable lessons and you’ll all have a laugh. Read More
  5. Volunteer to Help Others.
    One of the best ways you can volunteer to support the needs of millions of children is by advocating on their behalf before the most powerful institutions in the world. When you volunteer to be their voice, you help make it possible for children’s issues to be heard by world leaders. Read More
    Many children in the world need our help. Let's be a part.
