Annotation #1:

For my first annotation, I have my IA scholars seminar group project. We were assigned one of the eight United Nations Millennium Goals to research and present. The topic of child mortality was one I felt was very significant in the realm of international issues. These deaths are extremely tragic, but preventable. Upon researching statistics of the Sub-Saharan region in Africa, it showed to have the highest rates of child mortality in the world. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS affect children heavily due to their developing immune systems. Current action being taken by the UN is creating programs and initiatives to send supplies/tools with different groups collaborating on education and treatment. The most important aspect of this project that I can take away with, was being able to learn more about what solutions are out there and stay informed about global issues.
