Kids learn the value of believing they can do anything

Watch this child’s song, which speaks to our goals at Children Believe

Our sponsors encourage children to dream big, a goal that the boy in the NBC news video below is learning while reciting his ABCs.

Sam and his dad wrote a new song with a different career and dream for each letter of the alphabet. “Make your own mark. Leave an impact on the world…. Just don’t be a zombie and let the world pass you by,” sings the six-year-old and his father in the video.

Guiding children to reach their goals is what drives us at Children Believe where we support children to access life’s basic essentials, advance child rights and protection, promote equality for girls and partner with children for change — all while ensuring they can thrive in school.

Sponsor a child, and help a child dream big.
