If this regulation outrages international organisations, the children themselves and their union that led the campaign in favour of lowering the legal working age welcomed it.

Will the Bolivian example become a source of inspiration for other countries?

The stars, such as the elephant or the lion, have been extensively covered as well as the supporting cast, from the gazelles to the birds.

What if their behavior was not so obvious and predictable?
