Access to water a basic human right continued from p.7 Ishan and his older brother Vishal Vijay, 13, along with friends Kyra Gambell, Jaynika Shah, and Ryan Wong, formed C.I.A. in 2012 with the vision of making the world a place where every child has access to the basic necessities of clean drinking water, food and an education. C.I.A. now has 18 members aged 9-15. "Sierra Leone is one of the poorest and driest places in the world and is seriously affected by droughts. Most of the water they use is contaminated or polluted and this is one of the main reasons why the area has one of the world's highest infant mortality rates," said Vishal. "In Canada, we take for granted having access to drinking water, something that is so far out of reach for them... the fact is, access to water is a basic human right. So, we're just trying to help even the scale of social inequality." C.I.A. held a Chalk It Up sidewalk chalk fundraiser in September 2013 for the cause -- it raised $893. Organizers say they hope to make Chalk It Up and the Skate-a-thon annual events. C.I.A. members have attended social justice camps, visited service projects in Canada, India and across the world, and have held bake sales, raffles, food drives and initiated letter-writing campaigns to connect Oakville youths with those in impoverished schools in India. Since C.I.A.'s inception, the Vijay brothers have developed a passion for social activism. They recently travelled across Canada speaking to more than 120,000 youths about their projects. Over the past four months, they have spoken 9 | Thursday, January 23, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Vishal Vijay, Oakville with former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, U.S. human rights advocate Martin Luther King III, former Mexican president Vicente Fox, humanitarian Roméo Dallaire and countless other social activists -- the brothers are currently working on a book. Meanwhile, Vishal will be one of the narrators at the permanent exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, Man., speaking about children's rights. The exhibit opens September 2014. He will be speaking about child exploitation to thousands of youths in Ottawa on April 9, alongside notable humanitarians and social activists. "We may be young, but we feel when we all collectively come together... with every dollar we raise, we can help end the lack of access to clean water and make a difference in the lives of other children," said Vishal.
