“Shedding tears and crying unheard words” (Every Human Has Rights, page 9). Have
you felt unpredictable that there are many children in the world that are being treated differently
everyday? As some children lose some of their rights when they become a child labourer, these
are the first steps of children who stop dreaming about the good things they can do in their
future. However we need to spread the word about the awful actions Joseph Kony has been
doing to the children in Uganda, Africa. Which explains the people around the world should
begin to start action and help spread the word about Joseph Kony and make it stop. However if
Joseph Kony won’t let go of these children, what would you think about how their life would be
like if these children can not experience the childhood every child deserves in the world? On the
other hand if these children are denied to see their family and they have lost someone special,
wouldn’t be hard having to lose a family member that you could not have a chance to spend time
with during your lifetime? Lastly, now that there are many invisible children around the world
that we can not notice around us everyday, imagine if these children become change makers in
our future, think about how our world can be a better place.
We need to begin to have every child in the world help them deserve their own right. If
these children do not have their rights today, how can they have their own rights tomorrow? As
Free the Children is an organization that helps prove that every child in the world deserves to
have their own rights. Free the Children also help improve the everyday lives of undernourished
children around the globe. Without the help of Craig Kielburger founder of Free the Children
many of these children will not have the clean water the children can drink, school’s to learn in,
supplies used for their everyday lives, and the meals fed for these children. Craig Kielburger
believes that every child in the world deserves to have their own rights and freedom. So imagine
these smiling children you will see every day. For example, look how the children in Iqbal do not
have the right to play and to choose what they want to do in their everyday life. How would you
feel if you were in these children’s positions? Especially, look at the children that lives around
the poorest countries around the world, don’t they have to word for their families to pay for their
debts? Shouldn’t these children go to school, and enjoy the playgrounds built for them? Look at
all of these rights that are being lost, these are only some possibilities. However they can’t just

let go of all of these opportunities. So if we do not start today look at all of the possibilities these
children can do in their future.
There are many organizations in the world that helps children be free and prove what
they really deserve in life. That these children deserves something better. Kony is one of the
newest names that need to be spread today. Joseph Kony is head of the Uganda guerrilla group
who abducted children to become child-sex slaves and child soldiers. Estimated 66 000 children
became soldiers around the continent of Africa. Kony’s name can also help stop child labour. All
what Invisible Children trying to accomplish is to help discover all of these unseen children that
are being hidden around our globe to help prove that these children deserves better. The
exploitation and enslavement of these children as soldiers should be stopped. These children
deserve to have a safe environment around them. As we have many child soldiers in our world
today there is always a possibility to set these children free. That these children can also
experience the childhood life every child deserves. All of these outcomes are just the basics of
Kony. To help stop this all we got to do is help start awareness.
Family is one of the important things everyone needs in life. Without family everything
seems incomplete. If we lose a special someone that is a big part of our life, already a big speck
of a heart piece has already been removed. When Maria loses Iqbal, she basically already lost a
friend, a brother and a family. Iqbal and Maria were like siblings that you can never relate to
anyone else. How some children in Iqbal would have to be separated from their families to help
pay for the family’s debt, to get them fed at least three times a day, and also for important
medicine for the family’s health care. Can you see the children’s role to have a happy family?
The experiences and feeling I have losing someone special, can relate to how it feels to have my
life incomplete as theirs. So imagine those families who lose their child because of child labour.
Don’t you think those family’s deserves better? Now that you understand the important things
that losing a special person can become the hardest things with families without their children.
There would always be that feeling you get where hearing your child’s heartbeat for the very last
time can be the most difficult experiences we would have to accept forever.
Now that it is time to begin and start awareness that we should understand that all of
these possibilities can harm our world, if we start today we can think of our world being a better

place, that more children and people deserves better. If we gather all these problems together,
take a time and think about how it would turn out. Wouldn’t you want to change that? Meaning,
if we start treating each other equally and help make a difference in our world, look how our
world can possibly be. All of these children, who lose their rights when they become a child
labourer, begin to the footsteps with the possibility of ruining their dream. But it’s our job to
Lastly, now that you have read my story and experiences, what if we share our stories together
and pass on the message, with that one simple spoken word you may already have helped an
individual and family around our globe.
