Two inspiring leaders from Free the Children organization visited WAB recently, offering a presentation to all grade 4-8 students and an additional 3-hour intensive leadership training for over 20 students in grades 5-8. Participants came away with the message that they are never too young to take action and that one person can indeed make a difference.
Free The Children is a charity founded in 1995 by children’s rights advocate Craig Kielburger. Based in North America, the group is the world's largest network of children helping children through education. With over one million youth involved, the aid organization is largely youth-funded and specializes in sustainable development in marginalized countries around the world.
