Deeply Alarmed that 67 million children weigh less than they should, over two million children die every year from dehydration caused by diarrhea, nearly 226 million children are stunted-shorter than they should be (and score significantly lower on intelligence tests than normal children do), and underweight probably spend fewer years in school, which impacts on how much they earn in adulthood (http://www.freefromhunger.org),
Noting with particular reference to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Water, Environment and Sanitation organization (WES), that there have been numerous programs and organizations formed attempting to put an end to this problem but they have failed (http://www.childinfo.org/eddb/water/current.htm),
Deeply disturbed by the fact that the UN has been involved in water and food issues since the 1960's and yet no master solution has been found while 1 billion people in the world are currently living without access to safe water (http://www.unicef.org/programme/wes/info/westat.htm ),
