So, what happens at the "Change Begins With Me" Conference?

At the conference, your students will:
• Hear ‘real life’ stories of street children, told through dance, drama and song
• Explore concepts of equality, rights and our responsibilities as members of a global community
• Participate in interactive sessions about poverty and the UN Millennium Development Goals
• Learn how to take action to alleviate the burden of poverty
• Share discussions with other energetic and enthusiastic individuals

After the conference, we hope your students will:
• Know that they can make a difference in the world
• Become ambassadors for social justice
• Help change the world

Don't just take our word for it..

“KidsView awakened our students’ awareness of the challenges facing people living in poverty, particularly in the Philippines. They went away with a new understanding of global issues and it empowered them to become keenly involved in social justice groups back at the college.”
ROSEMARY KELLY, Salesian College

I learned that we can help. It inspired me to do everything I can to make the world a better place. I learned that I am so very rich and that in
everything I do, I can really make a difference. We can do so much more than we think we can. This conference inspired me to try and do
something about poverty.
