Nobel prizewinner, Gabriella Mistral, put it this way: “We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer, ‘Tomorrow. His name is ‘Today. It's time to do respond to the millions of helpless children who are homeless, exploited, and abandoned.” It is time “This is our moment, this is our time, this is our chance to stand up for what is right.” Bono.
