No one is ever too small to have an impact on the life of a child! Your effect on a child, and the world around, is bigger than you think. For a small action can often have an even longer lasting effect.

So start to share your impact today…discuss some of the topics and stories on this site, you may inspire the next big humanitarian; Listen to a child, they may have a cry for help you haven't heard; become a Big Sister or Brother, or even a Foster Parent; Donate your money or time to one of the many children's causes. Regardless of what you do, never underestimate the impact you have on a child, their world and our global community.

While you are never too small to have an impact, nor is a child. Children too can have a lasting impact on the lives of other children, and our world.
