Best of Web Builder - September 2009 - ListentotheChildren.net

| | Comments (0)

This month we have a special "Best of Web Builder" feature. The website is nicely designed, but in this case that's not what counts. ListentotheChildren.net was created for Logan MacGillivray, a twelve year old from Bedford, Nova Scotia with a bigger social conscious than most adults. It's not everyday that the actions of a child can cause you to re-evaluate your own values.

Inspired by photos he saw of children in Sierra Leone, living lives of hardship, Logan started his project to help improve their situation. He has gathered donations from various companies and individuals, and managed to fill a 40-tonne international shipping container with educational, building and recreational materials to send to Sierra Leone. But Logan is not done yet. According to the project news section of his website, they are now working towards filling a 2nd 40-tonne container.

To raise awareness for his cause, he also decided to create a documentary to draw greater attention to the cause. (Making a film festival worthy documentary at 12 years old ... how awesome is that?)

Rather than keep telling you how awesome this young man is, check out his website. Maybe you will be inspired to pitch in and help him attain his goal of making the world a better place.
