10 Kids Who Changed the World--Making a Difference in the Today's Society


How do you instill empathy in today's students? How can you help students view the world through others' eyes? 

Learning about different cultures and their people help students develop awareness for others' needs around the world. However, in each country, there are teen role models who have made a difference in lives of citizens. Making students aware of these role models will encourage them to take a stand or develop inventions that could help millions of people around the world.
