A Tiny Poem by Kid President

Kid President is a really cute kid in a suit whose goal in life is to make the world “awesome”. He has done countless uplifting YouTube videos with the likes of Beyoncé, Barack Obama and many more celebs. His main mission is to help kids like him (big kids like us too!) to be inspired by doing acts of kindness and helping those around us. He was recently invited to the United Nations and this was his “Tiny Poem” that he wanted to share with us.

What came next were a whole bunch of parody videos; some good, some awful and then there’s this kind of one: Inspirational. This video was taken in March 2014 by a volunteer who traveled to Iraq to work with Syrian refugees.
