Annual Love Writing Contest

The topic is one of the same “LOVE”!

Children Pay Children is a 501(c)(3) organization from Los Angeles, USA. Our mission does not only lie with those in need but also in the voice of children to be heard. We believe “Love” is the knot that ties the world together. It is something that needs to be spread and can never be emphasized enough about.
