EDITOR:

I don't get it. On the one hand, highest accolades must go out to all those who planned, executed, prayed for, etc., the superb recovery of these young ones (young soccer players from the flooded cave in Thailand). The world and its resources converged on this event in order to save those children.

Yet arguably, 10,000 children die daily in the dark shadow of monumental global capability. Surely there is a way, but it seems, little will.

Gary Gagnon,

Charlottetown
