“The best way to find yourself it to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Ghandi

Every year, We Day attracts thousands of students to Rogers Arena to take part in one fo the most inspiring and  hyped events in Vancouver. On October 18, 2012, the Arena became a nest for budding Social Entrepreneurs or in Joanna’s words, a place where “Craig and Marc Kielburger, as social entrepreneurs, have left a legacy- a movement for change”.

With stars like Demi Lovato, Shawn Desmond and One Republic coming in to advoate for change in the world, many are listening. And with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Spencer West, many are finding out HOW (class link).  Staring with how Craig and Marc Kielburger founded Free the Children, students around the lower mainland are taught that anything is possible if they are determined and passionate enough for their cause. Here, people are taught that even the smallest actions can change the lives of those less fortunate than us.

After attending We Day, many students can’t help but start something new in their communites. Many start a club, hold fundraisers, and even travel to third-countries because they believe they can make a change. These students , just like Craig and Marc Keilburger, are on the right track to becoming Social Entrepreneurs.
