Many of these children are part of child labor or serving as child soldiers. In fact, 150 million children around the world are involved in child labor. 1 in 9 girls are married before the age of 15. These children should have the opportunity to be in school instead! The Ogden Action Club is organizing a day of silence on March 20th to raise awareness for these children who do not have a voice.

Students can bring $5 on Tuesday, March 20th to join the Action Club in taking a vow of silence!
