The citation for the Manitoba Teacherâs Society Young Humanitarian read: "Sierra Noble is a Grade 5 student at Wolseley School who has taken it upon herself to help children who have been victims of war. A visit to a War Child exhibit last September inspired her to promote awareness of the landmine issue. She has spoken at a number of schools, collected signatures for a petition to the U.S. president and was heavily involved in Landmines Awareness Week. Sierra works directly with war-affected refugee children at a downtown center called NEEDS. Currently, she is trying to help a Somalian boy get the rest of his family to Canada from
Nairobi, Kenya".[SUP]
