President pledges to continue fight against diseases | Letter

Good news from Washington: the President pledged to continue America's robust pledge to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria that inspires other donors and will help save millions of lives. It is the Global Fund that provides 151 countries with money for projects that battle these three pandemics while strengthening the local health care systems that carry them out. Also the House passed the Education for All Act that will help countries focus on providing sustainable programs to educate all children. With education comes higher earnings, lower birth rates, and less conflict in our world. Of course it still needs to pass the Senate, which is where our calls and letters can help. We can make a difference in keeping the good news coming from Washington.
