A world working together

Re: “Global cooperation needed,” Dec. 30 commentary by Ved Nanda

Excellent idea for countries to work together to mitigate international crisis like migration, disease and poverty. A great example of success is the work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The Global Fund has saved more 27 million lives since 2002, thanks to multinational funding. America’s leadership with bold pledges has inspired others to contribute two-thirds of the money needed. This October, the Global Fund will be seeking its 6th replenishment to continue this life-saving work. A call, letter or visit to those who represent you thanking them for supporting this bipartisan effort will help ensure the Global Fund work continues and eventually conquers these three pandemics.
