Former Filipino street kid wins international peace prize

A 13-year-old boy from the Philippines is the winner of this year's International
Children's Peace Prize for his efforts to improve the rights of thousands of Filipino street
children.
The boy, known as, Cris "Kesz" Valdez, received the prestigious award from Nobel
Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu at a ceremony in Hague, The Netherlands.
The prestigious award was created by members of the Nobel Prize committee, and the
Nobel Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, presented the prize to Kesz at a ceremony
in The Hague.
Kesz has turned his life around, from begging on the streets himself, to motivating
thousands of poor children with a simple message of hope.

organization he founded, Championing Community Children.
