Option 1: Design a Moral Community Flyer/Sign/Poster

Option 2: Making A Moral Difference in the World
Have you heard of Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children? Kielburger began
speaking out for children's rights at the age of twelve. Or maybe you've heard of 11year-old Annie Wignall, who created the Care Bags Foundation, an organization that
distributes games, toothbrushes, books, and more to kids during difficult times? Or have
you heard of Jason Crowe? At the age of ten, he was so moved by the story of Vedran
Smailovic called “the Cellist of Sarajevo” a cellist who played his instrument in a war
zone for days to honor 22 people who died in an attack on a bakery, that he raised
money to construct a statue of the musician in Sarajevo. Can you be the next to make a
profound difference in the world?
