To commemorate Mother's Day on May 10, the international child welfare advocacy group Save the Children is issuing its 10th annual "State of the World's Mothers" report with recommendations for mothers and policy makers to help support early childhood development.

The 2009 State of the World's Mothers report says early childhood - the period from birth to age 5 - is the most critical period of growth and learning in a person's life. What happens - and what does not happen - during these earliest years can influence how the rest of a person's childhood, adolescence and adulthood will unfold. And that is why mothers play such a central role in preparing children to reach their full potential.

From wikipedia:
Upendrokishore Ray , also known as Upendrokishore Raychowdhury was a famous Bengali writer, painter, violin player and composer. He was born on 10 May 1863 in a little village called Moshua in Mymensingh District in East Bengal, now a part of Bangladesh. He spent most of his adult life in Kolkata, where he died on 20 December 1915, aged only fifty-two.

He was the father of the famous writer Sukumar Ray and grandfather of the renowned film-maker Satyajit Ray. Upendrakishore Ray Chauduri was a product and leading member of the Brahmo Movement that spearheaded the cultural rejuvenation of Bengal. He collaborated with the Tagores whose family, in the arts, achieved world renown. As a writer he is best known for his collection of folklore; as a printer he pioneered in India in the art of engraving and was the first to attempt color printing at the time when engraving and color printing were also being pioneered in the West.
