Bahrain – No Homework

Children, but more so many parents, will be breathing a little easier when their children return home from school.  Why and where, you may ask?  In Bahrain, the Minister of Education, Majid Al Nuaimi, has cancelled homework assignments from school.  Wow!  I know that some teachers around the world may choose not to give their students homework but to have this directive from the top… wow!
One mother is quoted as saying, “It’s not easy at all, and the situation is compounded when she comes home to do assignments that I cannot comprehend.”

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
