Youth helping youth

The young people at the YMCA Immigrant Outreach program know how to make a difference. In July, they sent cards and letters to help children left homeless by a conflict in Chad. It's part of Amnesty International's Lifesaver for youth. Each month, children and young people have an action specially designed for them.

You can download this month's lifesaver here.
