- Burlington High School, VT

In a complex, global environment, young people sometimes feel powerless about improving the lives of those less fortunate. But children can help lives of those less fortunate. Children can empower children. Students can help students. FORGOTTEN CHILDREN has worked with educators around the world to fundraise and to inspire youth to take action.
From American High School students to children in India
"As members of the SACA (Students for Asian Cultural Awareness) Club here at the Burlington High School we are passionate about helping others. We find it very important to only raise awareness of children who are less fortunate but to reach out a helping hand. Many members of this club have parents from Asia who had a tough childhood due to work. Hence, we were more than happy to help raise money for this fund. "
Without institutional support, young people can also take individual actions. Here are two examples:
- Two brothers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, raised $184 selling popcorn to pay for the
education of an orphan.
- A young girl from Florida, Raffaella, asked for her 11th birthday party that all gifts
be given to FORGOTTEN CHILDREN.
