He's only 14 years old, but Jackson Lloyd Packer is already making a name for himself around the world as a UNICEF ambassador.
The youngest son of Australian billionaire James Packer has spent the last year volunteering in refugee camps and early-learning centers in Moldova, where he met with children affected by the country's decade-long war, Time reports.
"I am incredibly grateful for the life I have," he says.
"But with this privilege comes a responsibility to help those who aren't as lucky."
His mother, Erica Packer, says her son is inspired by her own parents' desire to raise children who are aware of their wealth but also "driven to make a meaningful difference."
The teen's work in Moldova "is not just philanthropy; it's a testament to the potential of youth to lead with compassion, vision, and relentless commitment to making the world a better place for all," Time says.
Jackson's work "offered hope and a sense of normalcy to children who have known little but uncertainty," the magazine says.
"In war-torn Moldova, his efforts provide more than just immediate relief; they offer hope and a sense of normalcy to children who have known little but uncertainty."
