14 kids making a difference in their world14 kids...14 stories...countless hearts touched

In Pay It Forward Kids, readers will meet ordinary kids from across North America who have done extraordinary things, all on their own initiatives. They have set out to “pay it forward” to someone else, with astonishing results. The ripple effect of their deeds has inspired others to join their causes, and in some cases, to start missions of their own.

These kids have raised both money and awareness for causes such as homelessness, human rights, orphans, and literacy. They’ve also enabled others to enjoy pleasures that many people take for granted.

A percentage of all royalties from this project will be donated to the official Pay It Forward Foundation to continue to support this message and work.

—Charley Johnson, President of the Pay It Forward Foundation

Nancy Runstedler grew up in Wellesley, Ontario. She has worked in both public and school libraries. She is the author of the novel Beautiful Goodbye. She never leaves the house without two “pay it forward” bracelets on her wrists — one as a constant reminder to do good, and the other to give away when opportunities present themselves. She lives in Paris, Ontario with her daughter.

GET THE FACTS• The official “Pay It Forward” bracelets have been sent to over 2 million people in 125 countries. They

were created by Charley Johnson, Founder of the Pay It Forward Experience, President of the Pay It Forward Foundation and Head of the Global Development.

• The Pay It Forward movie, starring Haley Joel Osment, was based on the book of the same name by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

• The Pay It Forward Movement encourages people to be a part of something that heals the world and makes it kinder for the future.

• Human rights: Freedoms that should be guaranteed to all human beings, such as the freedom of speech and the freedom to work, regardless of who they are or where they live.
