Oprah Winfrey presented a launch of her “O Ambassadors” program today on her show. Through this program, students learn about children and families living in developing countries and discover that they can make a difference in their own lives and someone else’s!

Oprah is looking to add 1,000 new clubs for the next school year in the United States and Canada.

Twelve teenagers went to Kenya and in three weeks built a school building. There was a lot of social interaction and some emotional bonding between the teens and the Kenyan kids. The kids appeared to be of high school age. One important concern presented in the show was drinking water, which US kids generally take for granted. The link for the show is here.

Oprah presented Marc and Craig Kielburger, two young men from Ontario who have worked for children’s rights and have authored a book “Me to We”.

She also encouraged teachers and others (such as parents) to start “O Ambassador” projects at their schools.

You can apply to take part in the program here.
