Craig Kielburger

Free the world, this book is noting Craig Kielburger's life. He is just a normal boy as same as other. Craig Kielburger is a college boy. He always wear clothes that is already faded. When other people came to his school, he always really excited to help them to know that school. He can have his attain today. All is because he has his own dream, and there are many people help him to let his dream come trust. The bigger dream happened in 1995 morning. He was going to read a funny story on the news paper. Than he saw a news it is about a little boy in Pakistan. The little boys was only four years old, but his parents sale him to become a worker. Craig Kielburger think why they both are children, but their life become so much different. His mother tell him to work up for his own dream. So he went to library to search some information, also have a speech to the whole school. Therefore there are almost ten people become a group call "Free the world". Their wish is to help the kid who is not study because the war and too poor. People said "Children also can help children"
Craig Kielburger's mother is really different as other. She was teaching some kids who have hard time on learning. Craig Kielburger said he still remember how his mother help other kids, and can not never forget. When he was thirteen years old, he tell his mother he want to go Asia to close up that little boy's life by himself. He said that for eight months till his mothers agree him to do that. In that eight months, he do a lots work for it. Get the money for trip, connect with the people in China. After eight months, his mothers agree him. He speed seven week to walk around Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Thailand. When he got some hard time, he always think there are so many people still support him and encourage him. He get so many good attain, but he always chastely say all is other people's attain.
Why I think he is special to me it is because, he is like as same as me. We both are just a kid. But he done so much more than me. He help a lots people, and there are not just one country. But he never become disdain, that is the most reason why i like him. Also the best sentence i love from he said is "Children also can help children".

I love you last statement that "kids can help kids" that is so true. You must never look at yourself as someone that cannot help another person because of your age. Kids can be the most powerful agents of change because you guys have yet to become adults who may see the world through jaded lenses. I have always believed that Kids can make a difference... in fact I love seeing the millions of kids that make a difference around the world. You have the power within you - it starts off with the little things, a smile, a hug, helping someone else in need, a kind gesture etc.... these little things make a huge difference in someones life. So why don't we just do it? I am glad that you chose this person as your inspiration - believe that you can make a difference just like Craig and I promise you will!
