Across the globe, 2,388,821 children voted to elect laureates of the Global Friend’s Award and chose Nelson Mandela and Graca Machel as the two winners. On the Children’s World website you can see pictures of the prize ceremony and read about what brought the winners to voters’
attention. Also on the site is information about the rights of children and the International Children’s Jury, made up of children who have known life as debt-slaves, child soldiers and refugees. The section for teachers includes classroom exercises. www.childrensworld.org
