Â We need to empower our future generation to take action against all the issues that are arising with technology,â says co-founder Kim Karr. Â âThrough #iCANHELP students are learning that kindness is saving lives and it doesnât have to be anything big- a simple smile or a nice post-it note on a locker might be all it takes.â
