The New Mexico Independent: Cradles of hope, with love to Africa

    I don't know why we are so insulated, but thanks for the crack in the shell to make us aware.

    The good news is that since 1986, there are over 10,000 fewer of these empty cradles each day because of successful interventions like Oral Rehydration Therapy, imunizations, Vitamin A treatments, growth monitoring, and breastfeeding of infants -- plus anti-poverty strategies like education for girls and microcredit. We have to be aware, and we have to keep working for the proven strategies that really make a difference. More information on making it happen is available at www.results.org.

    In her article, Denise Tessier captured the essence of this extraordinary exhibit. I visited the Cradle Project exhibit with an out-of-state friend, and we were both very moved by the concept, objectives, and creative installations. The combined efforts of Naomi Natale and the participating artists represent their clear understanding and application of their roles as global citizens. Their efforts are admirable and can serve as models for others, as we too look for ways to help others and serve humanity---even across the artificially drawn boundaries of nationhood. --S.Clair
