Free the Children


Craig Kielberger was your age when he was so moved by learning about child labour and other terrible conditions for some of our world's children that he began the organization Free The Children. Create a web for Free the Children. Include information on the 5W's and how we can get involved.

Robin Randal was raised in Drinkwater, Saskatchewan. He has been playing water polo for many years and it has taken him around the world, to many international tournaments and even the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. We have talked about what it takes to be a winner... determination, perseverance, discipline, belief in yourself and the gifts God has given you and strong interpersonal skills. Robin possesses those characteristics and many more.
