 Poor Children UNICEF has damned Britain and the United States as the worst places for children to live among wealthy nations, in a new report which caused
widespread soul-searching.
The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Finland topped the 21
industrial powers assessed for the child well-being report released
Wednesday.
Britain's youngsters had the worst relationships with
their family
and peers, suffered more from poverty and indulged in more "binge
drinking" and hazardous sex than children in other wealthy nations,
said the report.
The United States placed 20 and Britain 21 on the list.

 Hanuman Temple One of the most visited but rarely mentioned as a
tourist destination in Taos is the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram. This
tranquil space with very beautiful gardens is a place where those in
the know go to take a breather while travelling in the southwest.
There's nothing to 'do' here which is part of the charm of this place.
Inside the ashram is a temple with an exquisite statue of Hanuman.
Hanuman is a very revered figure in Hinduism and there could well be at
least a million 'Hanuman temples' in the world. The Taos Hanuman statue
is very unique in He is flying. This is very rare among Hanuman statues
because three styles seem to predominate among the tens of millions of
Hanumans in temples and homes out there. |
