‘Free the Children WE Day’ celebrates "the power of young people to affect positive change." Many kids grow up being taught that they have much to learn, but some very bold youngsters rise to the challenge of promoting their chosen cause. ‘Free the Children’ founder Craig Kielburger was one of this influential breed.
This is a collection of little people with big potential—for better or for worse, these are kids who are harnessing their power to affect change.
