TORONTO (Reuters) - Toronto's Bilaal Rajan is eight years old, but already he's an old pro at raising funds for international relief operations.
This year, he's raised C$50,000 ($41,000) for tsunami relief in south Asia and has just returned from a tour of the devastated region as Canada's child ambassador for UNICEF.
Speaking to Reuters in an office at his Toronto school, Bilaal sat in an overstuffed armchair, back straight, feet not reaching the floor, deep chocolate brown eyes focused intently."
