Jake
Jake is a nine year old Fourth grade boy from Colorado, USA. He enjoys learning about the SDG Goals of 2030 and over the past few months has started a campaign called Kindheart Jr. He created these small stuffed pillow hearts that he wanted to give to kids who suffer from either depression, anxiety or just need a hug! He was focused on Goal #3, Good Health and Well Being. He felt he was making a difference, but wanted to take it a step further. He decided to partner up with #ProjectKakuma and Innovation Lab Schools and use all the money he raises to help buy toys and supplies for the refugees that attend this camp. Following in the footsteps of #WorldChangersAreNoisy, he created a global movement and has contacted several Toy/Educational companies to ask if they would like to help him bring joy to these students. In addition, in his hometown, he has put up posters in local businesses and plans to create a schoolwide campaign in the coming months. If you would like to donate to his campaign, you can read more about it here Kindheart Jr Please join Jake and follow his progress at #WorldChangersAreNoisy or #KindheartJr and let's get loud!
