<br/><br/> ADOLESCENTS. The 15 stories of young people from around the world described in Young Enough to Change the Worldare proof that kids and teens today want to make a difference! Each of these has already made a significant contribution to the lives of others. And, most of their projects are still going strong. These young people began with a dream that grew and gained momentum and support in spite of a small beginning. The key to their success has been their heartfelt passion and determination. These boys and girls, young men and women, possess the qualities of heroes and heroinesempathy, self-sacrifice, service, persistence, perseverance and commitment. Moreover, they are not content to battle singlehandedly the misfortune and sorrow they see around them. They want to enroll an army of courageous others, as determined as they are, to join them in the work of addressing human suffering and inequality.
