Making a difference

Hundreds of people packed the Kelowna Community Theatre Saturday night to be inspired by Craig Kielburger, the founder of Free the Children and Me to We. 

Kielburger spoke about how he got into philanthropy at a young age, just 12 years old, and about the people who inspired him. 

By crowd applause, he let the audience decide what inspirational people he would talk about. 

For the first topic, given a choice between Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Ed Bradley and Kielburger's grandmother, the audience overwhelmingly chose the grandma option. 

Kielburger spoke about how making a real change in the world is never easy and can take many attempts to make a difference.
