Toronto ‘superkid’ serves as UNICEF ambassador – CTV Toronto and other news sources

TORONTO — He spends his weekdays haunting the corridors of one of Canada’s most elite private schools, but Bilaal Rajan’s time isn’t solely occupied with the pursuits of the average Grade 8 student.

As a child ambassador for UNICEF, Rajan travels to the world’s poorest nations, then tours his home country sharing his experiences with peers and elders alike.

When not grappling with homework, he spends his time devising strategies to raise money and awareness of the struggles experienced by those living in the Third World. It’s a heavy load for a 12-year-old to carry, but Rajan believes it’s one that he and others of his generation need to shoulder.
