Free The Children

Craig Kielburger
Over the years, we've seen how one person can make a big difference in the world. When Craig Kielburger was twelve years old, his idea of childhood was changed forever when he read about a little boy in Pakistan, sold into slave labor for $16, who had been murdered. Craig was so affected by the story that he started his own organization, Free The Children, to fight for the rights of children and help stop child labor.
