Abstract
This article describes the development of a lifelong interest in and commitment to the well-being of the world’s children. Following a trip to Africa as a teenager, the author chose nursing as a vehicle for involvement with the delight, diversity, and disparities among children. The “accidents” of birth and the impact of geography and poverty on child health are demonstrated in global statistics but are better grasped by experiences in resource-poor countries such as Haiti, as presented here. Interest, involvement, and advocacy by pediatric nurse practitioners are encouraged and needed.
