You may not realize it, but this generation of teenagers has the potential to change the world that we know! With all of the knowledge and resources at your finger tips, you can do anything! But it is going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of compassion. You've heard the statistics: 24,000 people die each day from hunger related illnesses and every 5 seconds those illnesses take the life of a child. Millions of children are being made into soldiers, while others are being made into sex slaves, genocide is happening in countries all around the world, and people are being completely displaced from their homes and countries. You know some of the problems, so what are YOU going to do to become part of the solution?
