WE DAY!

Hello readers,

So the greatest thing happened to day you don't even know! I went to We Day which is a big kind of concert with lots of guest speakers and such that let all the youth of today in cities across the Canada aware of how they can change the world because we are the future. It is run by the Free the Children Foundation and I got to tell you, it was a really amazing event. Craig Kielburger founded the Foundation at only 12 years old, being shocked by a story he read in the newspaper while searching for comics. It was a story of a young boy, Iqbal Masih, who was sold into slavery in South Asia at the age of four. He managed to escape but he decided that his freedom was not enough. There was so many others who had had their freedom stripped from them and he couldn't just turn around. He stood up for what was right and made a stand. At the young age of 12, Iqbal returned to Pakistan, his home country, and was shot and killed. Craig, a small boy of 12, knew that there was just not something right about this and decided to make a change. He said today, how nervous he was to stand in front of his grade seven class with the crumpled up newspaper article in his hand. All he asked was, who will join me stop this? Eleven people rasied their hands. Eleven people and only eleven people raised their hands to say they would support him. That is all he needed. Eleven hands. Free the Children  went on to do great things and as you can see We Day is one of them. I had the great opportunity to go and see this event which really helped me be inspired, not lose hope and make a change. Please I want you guys to tell me your thoughts ideas and comments to really help me plan a better future because We Day has inspired me SO much and I know that we all can make a change just like Craig did with those eleven hands that were raised.
