Can 13-year-olds do something to change the world? Cris Kesz Valdez, 13, from the Philippines believes so.

At the age of 7, Valdez set up an organization to give homeless kids things like slippers and toothbrushes. So far he has helped more than 10,000 children improve their lives in his hometown.

Valdez won the 2012 International Children’s Peace Prize on September 19, 2012.

“My motto is ‘we can change the world one heart at a time,’ ” Valdez said at the award ceremony.

In fact, Valdez is a homeless kid himself. He looked for food from trash, lived on the streets and slept in a public cemetery for most of his childhood. His parents didn’t care about him and often beat him. Valdez said he felt he was living in “darkness” at that time.

But this “darkness” didn’t turn him into a dark person. Valdez got help from community workers. On his first birthday party, at the age of 7, Valdez decided what he wanted most was to help other children who were still living on the streets.

“I didn’t have a lot of money, but I had a lot of love to give,” Valdez explained.

That day was the birth of the organization, Championing Community Children. Since then, Valdez and his friends visit homeless children and hand out bags with slippers, toys and even candy. They nurse their wounds, teach them about their rights and offer them hope.

“I want children on the streets to get the same chance as I have,” he said.

　　 four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

　　Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following parents, carrying bags of almost the same size as their small bodies as they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

　　They show just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by ongoing war and the terrible price paid by Iraqi children.

　　“Dad, why are the Americans fighting against us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Singer, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.

　　He tries to make him feel safe by saying,“The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right. ” Even though Abu knows it isn't always true, little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape from the sound of bombs. And all the schools are closed.
