[edit] Advert?
It seems to me as though the article from this section is taken directly from Free the Children's website. It's not written in a very neutral manner. The section entitled "the largest network of children helping children through education," is not an objective description - it is their slogan.
Is the organization actually run by children? RickK 06:30, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, it's run entirely by people under 18. went to the website, seems pretty cool. Jake 11:52, Nov 3, 2004 (PST)
Well, not entirely. Craig Kielburger is now in his early twenties, and the organization has an advisory board of adults. But children are involved at all levels of decision making. --Talkingdrumm 15:36, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nobel Peace Prize
- Free the Children has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize and has partnered ...
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 04:01, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
