Someone once said "If we don't capture the imagination of young people, how are we going to change the world? It's not possible." And, it's true. We have some great challenges and some amazing opportunities to join in to deal with global issues like climate change and global health. Let's get started!

Iv watched the famous. Iv seen the rich. They claim to be out in this world to help the health of the ill. Africa mostly. But seriously, are they. Life is just so confusing for me. Im 14 years old and life just keep unwinding. Sex, money, cars, jobs, house, men, grades, college, it just keeps going. And im trying to take all of it in one by one. Then, i turn on the tv and see these poor little African children that are just living to see tomorrow. Now water. Clean water. Is this world ending or are we just puching the poor out and bringing the rich in? What happened to the feelings for these people? Why the heck do we keep seeming to show no heart. Im young and i try my best to help some of these people out but when a 14 year old is trying by herself, not much can happen. Its one big world and too many problems. If i could snap my fingures and help everyone i would but i can! So how can i do what Martin Luther King JR did, and change the world with the power of only one?

if you want to make a change in your community you can voulenteer though organizations. im from canada and i voulentered at 10 thousand villages to help atisans and people in third world countries make a living and get benifits. im pretty sure in the states they do have tentousand villages. there are also many other ways you can help in your community. i understand you though, im still wondering how i can change the world with only the power of one, but seriously you have to be the change you want to see in the world becasue if you dont, who will? also you have to get involved and take action, and make small changes in your community like beeing kind to others, ect. its also good to get others involved with how you want to change the world, like your friends, family, neighbours, and whoever. i hope my advice helped :)
