Does Charity Begin at Home?

Our students had the chance to read an article entitled "Speaking Out for Children's Rights" by Craig Kielburger. In this article, Craig talks about being a social activist for children in third world countries. After reading this article, the students had a conversation about the age old question...does charity begin at home? Students had a chance to write their thoughts and here are some opinions.

"I think Craig should of looked at what had more poverty his neighbourhood or other places. He should of gave to which had less and he should think about if other people will actually think about giving money to other places rather then his neighbourhood. I think he did a good thing though by thinking about others before himself!"

"I think that Craig should have started at his own neighbourhood and eventually grown bigger by going to different countries and helping there. I think his choice was okay but I think my idea is better!"
