https://vimeo.com/244842051 What is a concerned citizen?  Is it someone running fundraisers and collecting donations to better the community?  Is it an individual who is fighting against an issue they see, making themselves a social warrior?  When we were thinking of who we wanted to focus on for our project, we agreed that we wanted someone who was passionate.  We wanted someone who stood for something good, and had that genuine spirit of wanting to make the world a better place.  What a better individual and example of this than that of a child?  After all, in the scriptures we are constantly encouraged to become even as a child.  Remi and Ella are two little girls on a mission to make their community a better place.  Some may look at them and ask what exactly they can do, being children after all.  But their reach is influencing and changing the environment in which they are a part of.  Being a concerned citizen does not have to be...
