Caring???

I definitely believe that i am a very caring individual because for me being caring  is not optional but it is crucial . I believe that every single human being has the exact same rights and that we should treat others the way we want to be treated. I want to be treated in a polite and caring way so i try 110% to treat other people with care and politeness. One example of why i am caring is that I (along with some other friends) am raising money to build a well in countries of poverty so that they can have sanitary water. Water is a necessity for life and it is extremely heartbreaking to know that a lot of people around the world don't even have the resources to drink safe water. I really hope that everyone can be caring because I believe that that is the only thing missing from this world.

Criag Kielburger : A hero

This in depth article about Craig Kielburger is an amazing example of the International Baccalaureate characteristic of Caring. Craig Kielburger was only a twelve year old boy when he heard about another boy his age who had just gotten freed out of child labor and then killed by heartless factory owners. Because he was extremely empathetic and caring,he decided to take action. Craig had decided to start an organization called free the children which was dedicated to fighting child labor.Up until today, Free the children has build over 600 school rooms that educate 55 000 students each and everyday so that the kids in countries of poverty can have a future outside of child labor. If this is not called being caring i have no clue what is. I believe that not everyone has the courage and compassion to do what Craig Kielburger did. He is a true hero and one of the most caring people alive!!!
