Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa...a country torn by war, poverty, illness--truly, a corner of the world forgotten by most.

Look with me into the eyes of some of the most incredible people in the world. Come meet their children--many of whom have never had even a pencil of their very own or new shoes or a chance to go to school. Share a smile with their elderly, wrinkled and tired but still smiling. See a newborn's first lusty cry. Read the challenge in a young boy's eyes...

And when you are finished, as each image continues to make its way through your mind and into your heart, I dare you to take the next logical step. I dare you to ask yourself what your response SHOULD be, and then, what your response WILL be.

I dare you!
