Trick or Treat and UNICEF
Do you remember those little boxes given out around Halloween time to raise money for UNICEF? I don't even know if they still use them. I haven't seen a single one of my children bring one home from school in over 8 years of schooling.
I know you're asking yourself where is she going with this UNICEF thing...well, here it is-
Author Donna-Marie Cooper-O'Boyle has a link to an informative article about UNICEF sponsoring an initiative supporting legal abortion in the developing world.
As mother to a child, whose birth mother was in poor health, I can only imagine that her condition would have been cause for UNICEF to offer her a "safe abortion" option. My heart breaks when I think about the heroic choice she made to give life to her son, while her own life slipped away; giving me the privilege and responsibility of parenting him in this life while she waits for him in the next.

Thanks for sharing this. My kids still bring home unicef boxes. We have not ever used them, and I am glad now.
When they have come home, I have talked with the kids about giving, and how it is always a good thing. But we choose to give elsewhere, like the foundation that supports Pipo's village.
What a sad sad thought.
