Craig Kielburger is an important Canadian globally and in Canada.
One day Craig woke up and was reading the paper when an article caught his eye.The article was about a boy named Iqbal Masih.When this boy was four he was sold by his family to a carpet factory for sixteen dollars.He was their labourer for six years.At the age of twelve he was traveling the world fighting against child labour.One day Iqbal was riding his bike with some friends when he was murdered.Some say that this was because the people who worked at the carpet factory wanted to silence him.
Soon after Craig had read this article Me to We started.It is a foundation that helps children and stops child labour in six main countries including India , China , Sri Lanka , Kenya , Sierra Leone and Ecuador. The main message of Me to We is to teach kids in Canada about global issues in other countries that have people that are living in poverty.
At the age of 25 of he was awarded the Order of Canada.
Globally Craig Kielburger is very important.Craig visits poor countries and tries to help them.
Craig, along with other volunteers, helps to build children new schools and give them proper and needed school supplies.Also they give teacher-training. This how he helps through education.
Craig also helps the kids be strong and healthy.If the kids are sick and weak they will not live the life that they deserve. To do this, Craig helps provide nutrious food and vitamins.
To help the children financially, Craig finds ways for mothers to earn a good income and send their kids to school.
With water and sanitation Craig makes sure that the water is clean for all uses.This stops the spread of disease and helps girls who have to carry water from a far distance from home.They put in water pumps so the girls do not have to do the hard task.
That is why I think Craig Kielburger is an important Canadian.
