FACES January 2019
Who runs the world? Kids do! In this inspiring edition of FACES Magazine, you’ll meet children who are changing the world, and making it a better place for everyone.
Whether they are organizing to take a stand against unfair practices or raising money to help alleviate hunger, kids are at the forefront of creating change. After looking at the accomplishments of some young achievers that kids may already be familiar with, get introduced to a number of children who are taking up a cause near and dear to their hearts. Some of these programs are aimed at issues your family may deal with yourself, such as bullying. Other programs deal with issues around the world that your family may not know about, such as the fact that 12 million underage girls are forced into arranged marriages each year. No matter what stand these kids are taking, reading their stories may be moving enough to get you and your kids behind a movement.
