As I wrote in my blog a couple of posts ago, I am starting to do something about two areas that I've been convicted in when it comes to "social action" (whatever that means). One is Human Trafficking and the Sex Trade - which I'm still getting information on. The second one consists of two problems in the world today that can be solved with salt - the lack of iodine in most underdeveloped countries (which could be solved by iodizing the salt supply of that country); as well as dehydration, which can be handled by a simple $1 salt and water solution. 1.9 million children die every year due to dehydration.
I've been digging up information on the last subject. You can go to www.rehydrate.org to find out more information.
You can also read this Time magazine article to find out more information as well.

The time article and the website were very interesting. When you get to the "root" of the problem...clean water and hygiene are so important. We take all of that for granted. Until that is fixed..providing the resources and education for oral rehydration makes perfect sense. 1.9 million deaths that can be prevented.
Very interesting Adam, I will have to do some research on it myself. Thanks for the post.
