① “Kids can make a difference,” Craig Kielburger said. When Craig was 12, he started a group to help kids all over the world.

② How did Craig start? In the seventh grade, he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom (自由) at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws (法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools are free for all kids. But in some countries, people need to pay for their education, so children from poor families don’t go to school but to work.

③ Craig wanted to help those who didn’t have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result, Craig and some friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live better. He believed that the children who couldn’t pay for school could change their lives through studying.

④ Today, Craig’s group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and brings people many good things. It helps build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places.
