A Declaration for Children
Children are as important as “the men” put forth in the Declaration. Their health and well-being in the early years are the path to their unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Smiles can be contagious. They can lead to consequential interactions as we share our common humanity.
