These days children are often stereotyped as inactive and uninvolved in their communities, content with sitting in front of their computer or playing video games all day at home rather than volunteer their time and energy to those in need. But there are plenty of children who are spending their spare time making a difference in the lives of others in their communities and around the world. In celebration of these incredible young people, this month we are featuring 10 inspiring children who have gone above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of millions.
