Head Start Needed

This article about birth in Bangladesh is pretty alarming: "Hard Start for Bangladesh Baby". And birth is most definitely not the last hurdle. I was speaking with Qamar Banu today, the woman who is basically the "mother-in-residence" for all of the girls. She told me that a lot of children in this country are very malnourished when they are young, and this is a big problem because then there are problems with their mental development. They have a difficult time with school later on in life, all because they did not have enough to eat when they were young.
