  • HELP ELIMINATE CHILD LABOR: Hello! My name is Mackenzie Anderson, and I am trying to fundraise for the elimination of child labor. You might be wondering, “What is child labor?” Well, Child Labor is whenever a juvenile is doing work and they are not allowed to learn or have the right things to grow and develop. I am trying to at least make a dent in this issue, so I am fundraising for about a month. My goal is to make at least $250. Help me make that goal!
