L is for Liberen a los Niños (Free the Children)

            It's Day 12 of February Alphabet Fun Month!

This is a book a Mexican friend gave to me, about Craig Kielburger and his fight to free child workers. 

Craig Kielburger, CM (Order of Canada), MSM (Meritorious Service Medal), OMC (Ontario Medal for Good Citizenship), is a Canadian human rights activist and social entrepreneur.

In 1995, when Kielburger was 12 years old, he saw a headline in the Toronto Star about a Pakistani child labourer named Iqbal Masih who was killed for speaking out against the carpet industry. In December 1995, Kielburger travelled to Asia with Alam Rahman, a family friend from Bangladesh to see the condition of child labourers. While there, he met with then-prime minister of Canada, Jean Chrétien. Kielburger advocated for Canadian action on the issue of child labour, making headlines across Canada and internationally.

Upon his return, Kielburger was featured on 60 Minutes and the Oprah Winfrey Show. His trip was documented in the Judy Jackson documentary It Takes a Child. In 1999, Kielburger collaborated with novelist Kevin Major to write Free the Children, a book detailing his trip and the founding of Free The Children.
