What is Free the Children/Me to We?

Free the Children, was founded in 1995 by Craig and Marc Kielburger. In 2008, the name Free the Children was changed to the name Me to We. It aims to motivate communities to get themselves out of poverty by providing them with the skills and resources needed to change their lives. WE Charity also helps youth in Canada to become agents of change through WE Schools programs and WE Day events. It is important that everyone across the world gets the chance to hear about Me to We and what they do everyday to help thousands of struggling lives. In this world today, we should all be changing me thinking, to we acting.
