Children are taking over the world!
At least for fun in Japan because of a work theme park. But this amused me the most from the article:
"The children are rewarded for their efforts in "Kidzos", the theme park currency.
In most countries the theme park developers have found it is quickly spent in shops and restaurants.
But in Japan, a nation of savers, children form long queues at the theme park's bank.
"I've opened up an account and I've put the money in," said nine-year-old Noa Morita, who wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up. "I'll leave it in there for the bank to keep it." "
And I have to give to this young man Babar Ali, he has a vision and generous spirit to think beyond himself.
"Babar Ali was just nine when he began teaching a few friends as a game. They were all eager to know what he learnt in school every morning and he liked playing at being their teacher.
Now his afternoon school has 800 students, all from poor families, all taught for free. Most of the girls come here after working, like Chumki, as domestic helps in the village, and the boys after they have finished their day's work labouring in the fields."
