4. Free The Children
 History-
Free the Children was founded in 1995 by Craig
Kielburger when he was 12 years old. Craig was
reading through the Toronto Star newspaper before
school one day when he came across an article
about the murder of a 12-year-old Pakistani boy
called Iqbal Masih, a former child factory
worker, who had spoken out against child labour.
Soon after, Kielburger established Free the Children
with a group of his 12-year-old classmates. The
organization was formed to raise awareness in North
America about child labour and to encourage other
children to get involved in the issue.[8

5. History
Kielburger then travelled to South Asia to meet child
labourers and hear their stories first-hand. It was on that trip
in 1995 that Kielburger captured the attention of the
media in North America.
In 1999, at the age of 16, Craig Kielburger wrote Free the
Children, a book detailing his journey to South Asia four
years earlier and the founding of his charity.The book was
re-released in 2007 with Me to We Books.
The original logo of Free the Children; still used periodically
on flyers and banners.
As stated on the charity's website, its goals are to
"empower young people to remove barriers that prevent
them from being active local and global citizens."
Today, Free the Children has built more than 650 schools
and school rooms in developing regions worldwide, and it
has established offices in
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, London (England), and
Palo Alto (California).
