If you have ever had any doubts about the value of youth in philanthropy, Craig Kielburger is living proof that one is never too young to become a philanthropist and activist.
Born in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada, Kielburger was just 12 years old when he happened to see an article in the newspaper that would have a profound effect. He read about another 12-year-old boy on the other side of the world who had been murdered near his home in Pakistan. The young boy had been abandoned at age four and sent to work in a carpet factory, weaving rugs that would eventually end up in countries such as Canada and the United States."
