My name is Johann. I am sixteen years old and in Grade 11 at the Hill Spring International School.

When my classmates and I were informed about how we can save the lives of children who came from the economically weaker classes of society, I naturally viewed the idea with a pinch of salt. While we all know that wealth impacts your standard of life, I could not conceive the notion that your wealth may impact whether you have a life. I discovered that due to heart conditions that were no fault of their own, children may not be able to live, not because we are underdeveloped and do not have the technology, but because we have decided that the level of wealth of the family you are born into decides whether you can even have access to this life-saving technology. I also presumed that saving an actual life must cost a fortune, but, at Wadia Hospital, it costs Rs. 30000. Imagine that, saving a human life, for less than a third the price of the latest iPhone!

So, I decided to set out on a mission, to help save the lives of those condemned by the lottery of birth, by soliciting the help of the more fortunate like myself. By not only contributing but spreading the message to those in a position to help, I hope you can to help save a child's life!
