The Newspaper wants to publish some more stories next week in the 'Meet the campaigners' section of the page. You are going on assignment to research facts to write an article on this topic! Chose the campaign below that you are most interested in covering then click on the link below to be taken on location to the Newsround Website. Once you have got all the information you need write an article (a short paragraph for the newspaper) on your story.
