Whereas the top five killers of children under five in sub-Sa-
haran Africa are preventable diseases (neonatal causes, 
such as respiratory infections, pneumonia, malaria, diar-
rhea, and HIV/AIDS) which we know how to treat and 
cure; 
Whereas the high level of maternal and child mortality and 
morbidity in Africa can be attributed, according to Afri-
can Union Ministers of Health, to weak health systems, 
a low level of skilled attendance at birth, poor health in-
frastructure, and inadequate financial resources; 
Whereas some sub-Saharan African countries have sustained 
high annual rates of reduction in child mortality through 
strong political will, sufficient investment, and concerted 
action; 
Whereas over the past three decades, United States inter-
national child survival and maternal health programs 
have helped save millions of lives in Africa and elsewhere; 
and 
Whereas last year the G8 Summit leaders, meeting in 
Hokkaido, Japan, stated on July 8, 2008, ‘‘We reiterate 
our support to our African partners’ commitment to en-
sure that by 2015 all children have access to basic health 
care (free wherever countries choose to provide this).’’: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the ‘‘Day of the African Child’’; 
(2) affirms its solidarity to address the challenge of 
maternal, newborn, and child mortality; 
(3) salutes the health professionals and community 
health workers on the front lines in Africa who are ex-
•HRES 550 EH 
tending health care and hope to families across the con-
tinent; and 
(4) reaffirms the importance of United States part-
nership with African leaders and communities in reduc-
ing child, newborn, and maternal deaths from treatable 
and preventable causes.

Whereas these subjects provide the critical foundation to

Whereas computer science education has challenges to ad-
