It encompasses civil rights and freedoms, family environment, basic health and welfare, and education. This episode gives an overview of the condition of children around the world. From a rap video created by students at El Puente Academy for Peace and Justice in Brooklyn, to a profile of a 13-year-old African-American boy in Washington, D.C., and a 15-year-old girl in India.
