Information & Ethics committee  If my understanding of the holdings of Free The Children and WE Charity is correct, it's a huge lot of money. I see this as an opportunity, once things are cleaned by the refiner's fire, to make sure that those monies go.... To speak to the importance of this, there are kids in K

Information & Ethics committee  In addition to what I've already said, I'll tell you a quick story. On our trips I met a Masai warrior named Wilson. Wilson taught me that the first step every morning, in warming up charity and kindness that can spread out to changing and saving lives, was doing this: Jambo, raf

Information & Ethics committee  There are a couple of points. When Craig Kielburger came to Salt Lake, he told all of our donors during a well-televised fundraising that they would be building schools, and that for every $10,000 and $12,000 raised, a school would be built, right? They were told that this is wha

Information & Ethics committee  I can't. I can't verify that the promises that were given, which were that for every $10,000 to $12,000 that you help us raise, brick by brick you will build a school in Kenya. Do the math.

Information & Ethics committee  It did, without question. In the documentary I did, I literally have Roxanne Kielburger saying, “This is Wesley's school”, and then I say that when you give money to an organization a continent away, you wonder if it's real, and then I put my hand on the brick, and it is. It's

Information & Ethics committee  That's fine.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you. I would like to talk to those who trusted me on behalf of the Wesley Smiles Coalition. I'll speak to those donors. For all of the kids, I would say to them that they have every right to seek answers, transparency and accountability of Free the Children and the WE ch

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  Where was I? I was near death, quite literally. Through the process of serving the amazing people of Kenya and through the process of working to give my son a legacy, I found a modicum of healing, and it gave me rungs on a ladder to hang onto when I feel like I'm falling. Where

Information & Ethics committee  No, it was a joint venture with the hearts that beat under my roof. I only know what I saw on our trips to Kenya by way of numbers and how many children were served, and oftentimes those numbers and narratives were shaped by what Free the Children told us. When I characterize it

Information & Ethics committee  Well, it was healing, it was fulfilling and it was life-changing, and it was so huge that to feel now like maybe the magnitude of what I advocated, accomplished and did wasn't reflected in Kenya is just as devastating, right? For those of you who are parents, think of what it wa

Information & Ethics committee  He insisted there was nothing there. “You can do all you want. You can be ugly.” He used the word “ugly”. Again, I had a hard time getting a word in edgewise. I felt as if I had to repeat myself over and over. I felt that it was I who was on the defensive. Can you repeat the que

Information & Ethics committee  No. I mean, I said to him, “If I showed you proof, would you believe me?” He said, “Nope. No, I wouldn't believe you. I wouldn't believe you even if you showed me proof.” It makes sense that they would take out full-page ads. They have a whole campus at Enelerai with all of the

Information & Ethics committee  I don't feel I have any advice that could be of use. I felt that I vetted the charity. I mean, when Craig Kielburger appears on The Oprah Winfrey Show, you feel like the charity has been vetted, right? When Craig Kielburger and Marc Kielburger and Roxanne are mixing with the Prim
