Every year at this time, Nick Kristoff writes an upbeat story on how humanity continues to make progress in child survival and poverty reduction despite horrific tales of natural and man-made disasters that rightly dominate the news headlines.
Kristof's optimistic message always reminds us of UNICEF's Jim Grant who continues to inspire so many of us.
"It seems contradictory in a world brimming with pain, but the most important trend in the world in my lifetime may be the revolution in child mortality, the enormous decline in global poverty and the vast increase in literacy that many people seem unaware of".
Bless you, Nick, and Happy New Year all!
