Time, sweet
howbeit swift--
Leave behind
a seed--
sorrow, forgotten
joy, timeless
revelry
Dedicated to Lola Veva, the woman who raised my best friend, my better half. To him you are a gem; a source of strength and boundless love. The fiercest of storms have no power over your garden, for you have planted more than what seeds can give.
Colette Chuda, the inspiration behind Healthy Child Healthy World
Nominations are now open at http://www.healthychild.org/mission to find eight extraordinary parents—one of whom will become our 2012 “Mom on a Mission.” From January through August, Healthy Child will select and honor one finalist each month; in September and October, the general public will vote to choose the winner, who will honored with a grand prize at a gala event in New York City in November.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary year, Healthy Child Healthy World began in 1992 after five-year-old Colette Chuda died of a rare form on non-hereditary cancer linked to environmental factors. Playing a leadership role in one of the most important public health and environmental movements of the 21st century, today Healthy Child Healthy World ignites the movement that empowers parents to protect children from harmful chemicals.
