In the past 15 years, more than 3,000 aid workers have been killed, kidnapped, or hurt while helping vulnerable populations who are enduring wars, natural disasters, or armed conflicts.

Action Against Hunger is advocating for the creation of a special mandate holder to the United Nations to protect aid workers with the assistance of a Kenyan boy named Barrack Obama.

In the following video, Barrack uses his own voice to address those attending the 70th General Assembly of the UN--those who have the power to make change, including his namesake, President Obama.
