Blog #4 - Craig Keilburger



1. What is the purpose of "Free the Children"?


"Free the Children" is the world's leading youth-driven charity, allowing over 50,000 children in poverty countries (Asia, Africa, Latin America) the right to formal education. "Free the Children" is an activist group consisting of more than 1000 Youth in Action Groups; these privileged adolesence have helped provide daily education to underprivileged children, built more than 500 schools, established over 23,000 alternative projects to assist women and their families in achieving sustainable incomes, and more. The ideal purpose of "Free the Children" is to maintain equality in the sense that all children- underprivileged or not- should be granted the same rights to schooling, housing, financial stability, education, etc.




2. What effect does Craig Keilburger have on your life?


As well as being the founder of "Free the Children", Keilburger is also the co-founder of the universal concept "Me to We". Keilburger's ubiqitous involvement in both international developments enlightens people, that are more privileged than others, to involve themselves with the lives of the underprivileged. His concepts and ambitions influence people, such as myself, to not take things for granted & to become more involved with children that don't have what we do. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
