At the age of 7, Valdez set up an organization to give homeless kids things like slippers and toothbrushes. So far he has helped more than 10,000 children improve their lives in his hometown.
Valdez won the 2012 International Children’s Peace Prize on September 19, 2012.
“My motto is ‘we can change the world one heart at a time,’ ” Valdez said at the award ceremony.
In fact, Valdez is a homeless kid himself. He looked for food from trash, lived on the streets and slept in a public cemetery for most of his childhood. His parents didn’t care about him and often beat him. Valdez said he felt he was living in “darkness” at that time.
But this “darkness” didn’t turn him into a dark person. Valdez got help from community workers. On his first birthday party, at the age of 7, Valdez decided what he wanted most was to help other children who were still living on the streets.
“I didn’t have a lot of money, but I had a lot of love to give,” Valdez explained.
That day was the birth of the organization, Championing Community Children. Since then, Valdez and his friends visit homeless children and hand out bags with slippers, toys and even candy. They nurse their wounds, teach them about their rights and offer them hope.
“I want children on the streets to get the same chance as I have,” he said.

【推荐1】It is a common question to ask yourself: What do you want to be when you grow up?

【推荐3】Sleepwalking is when your child gets out of bed and walks around as if he’s awake, but he’s actually asleep. Sleepwalking (梦游) doesn’t hurt your child, and it usually disappears when the kid grows up.
Sleepwalking happens during deep sleep. Your child might get out of bed and walk around as if he’s awake, but he won’t respond normally to you or anything around him. This may make you sad. But try not to worry—your child is OK.
In fact, sleepwalking is quite common. 7% to 15% of children sleepwalk, and it doesn’t usually mean that there’s anything wrong with them. Children aged 4 to 12 are more likely to sleepwalk. Both boys and girls sleepwalk.
Sleepwalking often happens in the first few hours of the night. When it happens, your child’s mind is asleep. However, his body is awake at the same time.
Sleepwalking usually has something to do with age and development. However, some things can increase (增加) your child’s sleepwalking. For example:
●Bad habits that cause poor sleep
●Fever or some other illnesses
●A family history of sleepwalking
●Medical conditions that cause (引起) poor sleep
If your child is sleepwalking at least once every night, it’s best to see a doctor. Also see a doctor if your child’s sleepwalking is influencing the sleep of other family members, or if you’re worried your child might hurt himself while sleepwalking.
