We Charity

Each year, the movement We Day travels the world inspiring individuals to create change and aid those in need. I have gone to 4 of these events myself and experienced this life changing event. Not only was I able to witness these events, but I was also participating in them as a volunteer, working to involve and inspire those at the event. We Day is an event stemmed from the organization We Charity, formerly known as Free the Children. We Charity is founded by two brothers, Craig and Marc Kielburger. The founded their organization to free children and their families from poverty and exploitation. Over time, they expanded their focus, creating what is known as the five-pillar model. This model focuses on education, water, health, food and opportunity for communities in need. Over time, as their organization grew, the founders created Me to We, a social enterprise that sells products to support We Charity and all of the work that they do. And finally, We Day was also created, an event to promote We Charity and all of the values that they stand for. I admire Craig and Marc for their never ending drive to fight for change and values that they believe in. What started out as a simple idea to help others, has become a worldwide organization creating change and improving lives every day. It was at We Day that I learned about this organization and was inspired to make changes in not only myself, but to create change in the lives of those around me as well. I joined clubs at school pertaining to the cause and began making more lifestyle changes such as using less water and recycling properly. In conclusion, We Charity, its founders and all of the values that they stand for inspire me to reach for my goals and to follow my dreams.
