This Calls for a Celebration
Welcome to the March issue of Voices International—we hope you’re ready to celebrate!
What’s to celebrate, you ask? Lots! A few causes for celebration this month include: World Water Day on March 22, the Take Action! Academy on the horizon and 40 ballroom-dancing elementary students building a school in China.
Plus there’s more! The ultimate cause for celebration this month is Free The Children’s new Celebrate for Change campaign. This is your chance to throw a party that will change the lives of children in the rural areas of Kenya, Sierra Leone, China, Sri Lanka and Ecuador. Read more about Celebrate for Change below, and start planning your party today!
With passion,
The Youth Programming Team
Even though many street kids in Thailand don’t know their birthdays, that doesn’t stop them from celebrating. This year, celebrate with them as part of Free The Children’s new Celebrate for Change campaign! >>
Free The Children is the largest network of children helping children through education in the world, with more than one million youth involved in our innovative education and development programs in 45 countries. Founded by international child rights activist Craig Kielburger, Free The Children has an established track-record of success, with three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize and partnerships with the United Nations and Oprah’s Angel Network. |

50 million children do not know their own birthday. Invisible to the government, these children have no official identity and often face severe exploitation. How come?
On March 22, World Water Day reminds us of the scarcity of this life-giving resource.
