I love this story: Congo's Children's Parliament

With government institutions, including the courts, hobbled by decades of corruption and neglect, one of the few bodies still reliably administering justice is a parliament run by, and mostly for, children.

Launched in 2002, the UN initiative has since taken on a life of its own, with 150 members and little day-to-day adult supervision.

I imagine they give some very fair and very innovative judgements.

So did you hear from your relatives that we are in Toronto? Well, we are still in Toronto right now... but I did not bring your phone number and its too late to be bothering your Aunt and Uncle. So I thought I would leave a message here saying that I was hoping to see you tomorrow if at all possible?

Anyways, my email is briansbrain@hotmail.com if you want to get a hold of me or just reply here... so tired and kind of sunburnt so going to go float in a pool I think.
