Over 1.2 billion people in the world live in poverty. About 2 months ago, two very important people came to MCDS to talk to the upper school. Nicole and Derek work for Free the Children, a non-profit organization that works to help people all over the world to prevent things like child labor and unclean water and to try to build schoolhouses for education and hospitals for health care. Nicole and Derek told us what we could do to help and how we can create awareness about poverty. 30,000 children die every day from poverty-related causes. Now we know that we can help by raising money or adopting a village. If you are interested about free the children go to www.freethechildren.com. Craig Kielburger started the organization when he was 12 years old. Kids are continuing to help kids today around the world.
