Extreme Kindness

Last week Chris and I went to see a strikingly inspirational lecture. It was well attended by all ages and appreciated enough that it received a standing ovation. Craig Keilburger, one of the founders of Free the Children, has always been a hero to us and so you can imagine our stoke when we discovered he was speaking in Victoria.

Craig spoke with heartfelt and sustained passion for an hour and a half. He had the audience both moved to tears and uplifted with potential. His genuine message to literally “Free the Children” from factories and sweatshops worldwide resonated strongly with all listening. During the Q and A period several young kids stood up, (in front of hundreds of people) and let Craig know that he not only had their admiration and support but their commitment as well.

This lecture was one of the most engaging and genuine presentations I have seen and I would highly recommend…

Exploring out the website,

Reading the book,

Or seeing the lecture.

Before departing for Turkey to continue his work Craig stayed behind to meet the audience. Chris and I got the chance to meet him and I cut together this bizarre little video with some footage taken on my crappy digital camera.

P.S. Many thank yous to to Dani, Chris’ partner, for alerting us to the fact that Craig was in town and for capturing the moment on a less than perfect camera.

Enjoy….
