Notas do Editor

  1. Shorten
  2. This graph shows the amount of single parent families over the years. Because this number has only risen this means that more and more kids have been put at risk.
  3. Thank you Berkeley. Our slogan for our program is spreading smiles from child to child and Ourvideo leading figures shows Riley being a bad romodel to his younger brother About school not being important. On the other hand Berkeley Hanna's dad is supporting her through our leading figures program and hanna is enjoying it. Even though hanna is getting teased by Riley about doing to program but she continuwe to do the program. Now I am passing the project to hanna to talk about our sources.
