Blogging to Videos

Choose one of the videos and write a journal response to the following questions:
1) What motivated Craig to start the "Free the Children" movement? What issue would you be motivated to tell other about and create public awarenes?

2) Do you know of other singers or celebrities that are working hard to create awareness about an important issue? What are they doing? How are their efforts helping those in need? How are you affected by their work?

3)Imagine you were living in a refugee camp. What are some of the challenges you noticed in the camp? How are the lives of these people impacted? How could you sustain hope for the future?
