The Power of One and the Power of We

Craig Kielburger believes that each person has a responsibility to live a socially conscious life and to be active citizens.

"It's easier to be ignorant and say I don't know about the problem. But once you know, once you've seen it in their eyes, then you have a responsibility to do something. There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together as a team, we can be unstoppable."

Craig has written numerous books to inspire youth (Me to We, Living Me to We, Take Action, The Power of We Day) and also books for parents (The World Needs your Kid). Craig stresses the three C’s: Compassion, Courage and Commitment to create impactful citizens.

"The struggle began several years ago in communities and in cities in South America and Africa, where children were sold, tricked or forced into bondage as carpet weavers, domestic servants and child prostitutes. Now, children and adults march in the streets of Calcutta to protest. North Americans are not saving these children; we are supporting them in their struggle."

       Through his books as well as his weekly column, Craig write about numerous  people he has met that have stood up in the face of conflict. A big focus of Craig’s is the power of one. He believes that with courage, one person can make a world of difference. He often writes about heroes who have taken it upon themselves to change prominent issues facing our world. These are people like Iqbal Masih, Malala Yousafzai, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. And when one of these amazing people has the courage to take a stance it is the job of others, even if they live across the globe, to aid in their struggle.
