CRY America's 'My Vision and Dream for Children' campaign

Illiteracy, child labor, malnutrition, preventable diseases, gender discrimination, child abuse, amongst others - are injustices faced by millions of children on a daily basis. But not for long we hope ... because no matter how difficult the journey, if each of us believes in doing what's right, all children will have their right to live, learn, grow and play.

CRY America believes in a 'just' world in which all children - regardless of gender, class, caste, faith, color, race, physical and mental ability etc. - have an equal opportunity to develop to their full potential and realize their dreams.
