 Nine-year-old Anand started reading the Bible in April 2006, about the time he began learning to read.
The third-grader in Ulaanbaatar has a chart of books and chapters of the Bible in which he marks what he has read with a red pencil. "This way I can see what I already read," he told UCA News as he displayed the A4-size page.
"My brothers have their own charts and mark what they've read, but they're much ahead of me because they are 11 and 12 and can read faster," said Anand, who goes by one name, as is common in Mongolia. "Mother has started marking her second sheet already, but she reads really, really fast," he added. |

 The new Kenyan cabinet is the largest in the history of post-independence Kenya and it will come at a huge financial cost. The former opposition leader, now the new prime minister, Raila Odinga, had pushed for a cabinet of 26, but agreed with the demands of President Mwai Kibaki and his followers for a much bigger administration.
There are 40 Kenyan cabinet ministers and 52 assistant ministers, not far short of half the total number of MPs. |

 After three years of the signing of the presidential decree homologating the Indigenous Land Raposa Serra do Sol (RSS) the announcement of the operation, termed as UPTAKON 3, to expel the non-indigenous from the homologated area made us very happy. We felt the commitment of the Federal Government to guarantee the rights of these indigenous people which are already guaranteed by the Brazilian constitution.On 9th of April we got shocked by the decision of the Supreme Federal Tribunal, of suspending the operation aimed at removing the invaders once and for all.
