The Kielburgers

Craig and Marc Kielburger have made headlines around the world.

Craig organized students from his grade 7 class to start an awareness campaign about child labour.
'Free the Children' was born.

Now just a year before, Craig's older brother Marc spent a year in Thailand at an AIDS hospital.

Since then, 'Free the Children' has gone from being a home-run organization to one that works around the world.

They've received countless awards.. Had appearances - yes plural - on Oprah. And have an on-going partnership with her Angel Network. Conversed with Mother Theresa and the Pope. Done speaking tours with the Dali Lama, Bill Clinton and Desmond Tutu.

This week they're gathering thousands of students in Toronto for the first National 'Me to We Day'. A philosophy coined through their book: 'Me to We: Finding Meaning in a Material World.'

Do More stories like this. Craig and Marc are amazing! They have changed my life. Volunteering overseas with them was mind-blowing. They gave me the passion to go out and change the world.
