Speaker 2
The year in terms of what it’s done for children has, as far as I’ve seen, been pretty ineffective. And it’s brought a minimum of extra focus on the child. I think that we shouldn’t need a year of the child to to bring focus on the child, but you know, we had one and I don’t think it really did anything.

That’s that’s even, you know, okay, if you’re trying to change something. I thought that it was just too light. It wasn’t concerned with the real problems. It was, it was kind of concerned with starvation, which was good that I think that was the only good aspect of it.
