New version about: "Malnutrition in Guatemala"

Two days ago, while I was watching T.V. ,a piece of news called my attention. A survey in Guatemala, came up with shocking results: more than 30% of guatemalan children are malnourished. Apart from that, there is only one malnutrition treatment centre in this country and it has nothing to do with the Government. This situation impressed me, because in Chile, 40% of our children are suffering from overweight.Is it unfair?Is it wrong? What is your opinion about it?.

One to One with "The King"

I would like to have a one to one with The King. His name is Elvis Presley the most important artist and the reference to the next musical generations. He was the precursor of the "Rock ´n´ Roll" and actually, he is the influence of the musicians and singers in the whole world. I analyzed his career and his music and I realized that he was a genius, because he put in practice all the things that you can see in scene now.

I would talk about his first steps in music, and how he realized that there was so big talent inhis life. At the same time, I would like to know if he was under pressure at the final of his life or if he was stressed about his incredible and exciting life. Maybe, it would be interesting to know how he discovered or created rock and those rhythms which are part of our own sound track. I would like to visit the place where he was born to have this incredible and interesting conversation.

From my point of view, he was the first star in the music world. I mean, he is a cultural icon, because he was ahead of one´s time.

Remember: "Don´t be cruel" with your comments, and take care of some "Suspicious Minds".
