Helping Julio Create his Tour

Marco and I were partners in this activity and our little buddy was Julio. Before talking to our Julio, we both thought that he looked like David Luiz (a football player) and when we talked to him he told us that he's Brazilian and that he watches football as well! Julio decided to make a Brazilian tour visiting famous landmarks such as the Christ The Redeemer and a few football stadiums including the famous Macarana stadium. Our little buddy seemed to be interested with the activity. When he showed us his work, he was far ahead of everyone. He was almost done. It was a unique experience for me as this was my first time working with young children.

China's one-child policy to be relaxed

China's Anti-Natalist Policy Gone Too Far?

During the 1970's the Chinese government implemented a one child policy that was aimed to stop over population. However right of now the policy is currently having a negative effect on the country. Though China's population decreased in number, BBC predicts that in 2050 over a quarter of their population will be over 60 years old. This could be a potential problem for their economy. China's work force will be severely depleted. In order to solve this, they are now planning to relax the "one child policy"  by allowing families to have 2 children.
