   Each year, prizes are presented to adults who accomplish great things in art, writing, science, and economics．So why not give awards to kids?

   Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996．As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world．The awards World of Children presents are nicknamed the "Children's Nobel Prize．" On Thursday, World of Children honored six adults and two kids at its 11th Annual Changemakers for Children awards ceremony held at the UNICEF House at United Nations Plaza in New York City．

   Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder's Youth Award for Leadership．She is only 13 years old, but she has accomplished a lot．In 2005, she founded "RandomKid．" Since then, the nonprofit organization has raised more than $10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U．S．a(chǎn)nd in 19 other countries develop funding solutions to real-world problems．One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school．The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Slidell, Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa．In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money for the purchase of water pumps．

    Frightened by the strange silver-colored spaceship, most of the young people got in their cars and drove away quickly. Peter was fond of Mary and always stayed close to her.
