From 25 April to 1 May Zsofia Ilona from Earlsdon is going silent to represent children around the world who aren’t being heard. Zsofia says “1 billion children worldwide are living in poverty. According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. These children deserve a life full of equal opportunities. This challenge is a fundraiser for the charity INCREDIBLE Child.org”.
