Hi Hannah!

Thank you SO much for sharing the incredible story of passionate young students creating awareness and collecting donations towards stopping child labor! My name is April and I am the International Coordinator at Free The Children and as such I have the privilege of working with incredible students like yours from all around the world! It is truly the dedication of students just like those at Waimea Intermediate that inspire us every day and create the change we all want to see in the world! I was so happy to share the video with my colleagues in Toronto, Canada, who were all equally inspired!

On behalf of the entire organization and Free The Children team, I want to send a sincere thank you to all of the students who participated in this day of action! Congratulations on such a successful day and for spreading the word of child labor and the conditions of children from all around the world!

I wish you all the best in all of your future actions to change the world!

Keep in touch!

April
