We Day

We Day is a powerful day.
It's impacting and motivational.
We Day is a day where 18 000 students and teachers get together under the same roof, only to blow the top off so everyone can hear.
These 18 000 individuals are spoken to by speakers like Mia Farrow, Spencer West and of course the founders of Free the Children, Craig and Marc Keilburger.
Free the Children is an organization that began with an eleven year old boy named Craig Keilburger.
He was moved by an article about a boy in child labour and brought it to school.
He stood up in front of his class, nervous and shaking, then he asked them who wanted to do something about it.
Eleven people raised their hands and Free the Children was born.
Today they have started over 650 schools and are providing over 1 million people with clean water, food, education, health care and income assistance.

Because of this organization many, many people have been given the help they need and it's because of that little boy that they did that.
So Free the Children started We Day to empower youth to change the world, to make a change, and to make a positive difference.
I'm part of my school's social justice club and each year we participate in We Day. It's an incredible, rather life changing event. To be inspired along with 18 000 other youth like you is so powerful.
Thanks Craig, for allowing us to make a difference and to get a chance to have our voices heard.
