My husband and I make physical activity a priority in our lives, and our daughters love being active as well. And while we each have sports and activities we enjoy, we try to go for hikes or bike rides together whenever we get the chance. We've found that the best way to help our girls be active is to find activities they truly enjoy.

The [Burmese] government appears to be more interested in stamping out political activity than drug addiction.

We have heard that it is very easy to obtain drugs on the university campuses.
