🌎 We love to hear about kids making a positive difference in the world! But how can selling socks save seabirds?

🪺When young brothers Will and Matty Gladstone heard about the decline of a striking bird called the blue-footed b***y, they founded the Blue Feet Foundation. Their aim was simple: selling blue socks to raise money and awareness to protect the birds and their habitat!

🧦Today, Will and Matty are 20 and 17 years old, and the Blue Feet Foundation has been in operation for over 8 years. They've sold over 20,000 pairs and raised over $200,000! Read all about it in the latest issue of CRICKET Magazine!
