Inspiring Kids to Care

Dr. Martin Luther King said that not everybody can be famous, but everybody can be great,
because greatness is determined by service. Well, Kendall Ciesemier was just 11 years old
when she watched a show we did on AIDS orphans in Africa and what she saw set in motion something great in her. —Oprah Winfrey
• There are 12 million AIDS orphans in Africa, and the number just keeps on growing.
• Every 14 seconds another African child is orphaned by AIDS.
Discover how Kendall Ciesemiers response to those startling facts—even as she faced her own serious health struggles—has touched off a wave of caring thats making a difference in the lives of thousands of AIDS orphans in Africa. But even more amazing, see how her actions are inspiring other kids and teens—in schools and youth groups across America—to experience firsthand what it means to care.
Kids Caring 4 Kids started out as this really small idea of me just wanting to help one kid and its grown into something amazing and exciting and inspiring, Kendall says. It has taught me that together, we can really make a difference for these kids in Africa. If we just take that first step, we can do so much more than we even imagined.
