Five Minutes for Free The Children Friday

Thank-you for taking five minutes for a great cause! How is the fund raising at your school going? Have you begun any initiatives? Do you need ideas for fund raising? Check out this link: 101 Fund Raising Ideas!

To get inspired check out some videos on and podcasts of Free the Children in the media: Free the Children Media Room.

Check out this news story on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of a Child and find out why Somalia and the United States are the only two countries NOT in favour of the treaty. Teachers- this is a great opportunity to talk about bias in the media and research skills that help us become conscious consumers of media.

We really want to see initiatives started at your school! It could be as simple as a penny drive or vow of silence! We want to hear what you are doing! Share your stories by emailing: credendafreethechildren@gmail.com.

Thanks for your participation! We look forward to hearing from you!
