The lesson "One Person Can Make a Difference” introduced the students to the story of Craig Keilberger, a 12-year old Canadian boy who read an article about child labor in Pakistan and made up his mind to do something about it. He inspired six of his friends to join him in forming a group called Kids Can Free the Children. Together they made it possible for children to get an education instead of jobs. And that was just the beginning of their human rights journey. SUNDAY, MAY 11
“The Power of Peace: Thoreau, Gandhi y King” introduces the group to the power of nonviolent resistance and activism as practiced by Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. SUNDAY, JUNE 22
