For young people, helping others is a natural response. It’s reflexive. They see a child just like them hurting, whether on TV or in real life, and it triggers something.
A feeling of compassion.
A desire to help.

These are the stories that inspire us. Where wide-eyed positivity meets unbridled optimism. We hope they’ll inspire you too.
