- 5 years ago
Authorities in the Indonesian city of Bandung launched an unusual project called ‘chickenisation’ to distract children from their smartphones. Around 2,000 4-day-old chicks will be given to pupils at elementary and junior high schools and the youngsters must take care of their new pets. This project has been welcomed by parents, who believe taking care of pets is more beneficial for their kids.
