My challenge to anyone who suggests deworming children is anything but a cost effective solution to promote health and a future to children being eaten alive from the inside out: Be me for a day, see what I see in pueblos and villages in remote mountainous outbacks, engage in deworming children and observe the eventual self evident results. In a recent blog, I wrote that arguing whether the deworming efforts in 3rd world children helps a little or a lot is akin to debating whether the life boat is made of pine or oak while ignoring the ship is sinking under your feet. The fact is that deworming children impacts literally millions of young lives worldwide Thousands of which are looking to Changes for New Hope here in Peru for that very solution.
