December 17 - Be the Change. Save a Life.

This blog is all about inspiring people to take action... To make a difference...To be the change they want to see in the World.   



I generally do not highlight television shows, but today I am going to highlight not only a show, but a movement.  Tonight at 10PM ET,  ABC News Kicks-Off  a year-long global health series,  “Be the Change: Save a Life.”   I am really excited about this program and I would recommend that you watch if you are able.  I believe you will be touched in a mighty way - You will be inspired to get involved and "Be the Change."  The more you learn about the world and the needs of others, the more open your heart becomes to making a difference!  A Special Edition of “20/20” Anchored by Diane Sawyer highlights the World’s Top Global Health Issues and gives the audience Simple Ways to Make A Difference.


Tonight, ABC News begins a year-long odyssey – covering a story that spans the world; challenging Americans to save untold lives. “Be the Change: Save a Life” sets out on a journey across three continents and into nine countries, focused on the health conditions endured by the poorest of the poor – and some of the innovations that may be able to save them.


“Be the Change: Save a Life” debuts with a day of reporting across all ABC News broadcasts and platforms and includes a special edition of “20/20” titled “Be the Change: Save a Life” anchored by Diane Sawyer at 10pm ET on Friday, December 17th.


From pregnant mothers to newborns, children and adults, the day of programming will examine six of the world’s top health problems, and share simple and practical ways the audience can make an immediate difference.


A story may not be able to change the world, but it can inspire the world to change.


Inadequate newborn care, malaria, polio, HIV, tuberculosis and a lack of critical vaccines still kill millions of people in developing countries every year. Experts say these are real challenges, but there are also innovative, creative solutions that can save lives -- today.



As part of the ABC News initiative, a dedicated website, SaveOne.net, will premier the same night. For the next year, it will act as a clearing-house for global health information. Viewers who want to know more and get involved will find ways, large and small, to make a difference in their own communities and around the world. The site will provide unique content from ABC News reporters around the globe as they report through the year.



So please watch the "Be the Change" series on ABC and check out the SaveOne.net website and get inspired to "BE THE CHANGE."
