We are Silent

We are Silent. Free the Children is having a campaign on April 18th to represent all those in this world who don't have a voice. We are silent for all the 215 million children in this world who are forced into child labor. We are silent for the 300 million children who are under the age of five and affected by armed conflict. We are silent for the one in three children in developing countries who are malnourished and suffering from up to 160 days of illness a year. We are silent for the one billion children who deprived of the essentials, such as clean water, food, education, and health care. That is why we are silent. Free the Children is asking for people to not speak for a whole 24 hours on April 18th for all the children who were listed above.This is to raise awareness of how some children live in this world, and to raise money for free the children. I, like so many others, will ask people to sponsor me. For each hour I don't talk they give me a certain amount of money. All proceeds that you make go to Free the Children to help these children without a voice. Click here for more information. Remember to tell your friends about the campaign and get involved. Just think of how you can help all these in need. I will be silent, how about you?
