Abstract
Excerpt: In the spring of 2005, after the Public Affairs Committee Special Session "And How Are the Children?" at the ACEI Annual Conference and Exhibition, we sat back and reflected. We were daunted by global inequity, by the plight of our youngest world citizens, and by a lack of opportunity for children to meaningfully participate in altering these tides. We realized that it was imperative to profile the potential of children to effect change. Thus, the project "Kids Speaking Up for Kids: Advocacy by Children, for Children" was born.
