CURRENT EVENT Evo Morales the President The current event I chose is about a president in Bolivia named Evo Morales, the first Indian president of Bolivia. On Saturday September 26, 2015 Evo Morales got elected to be a president for another term. He first became a president in the year 2006 and this will be his 3rd term of being a president. Reporters are saying that people would've probably elected him again because while Evo Morales was ruling Bolivia, the most unstable country of South America became calm and peaceful. Evo said that he would happily give up the office but others force him to stay. But now he states that since the first term didn't count, he would participate in the vote which will be held on 2019 to become a president for the 4th term

¿DID YOU KNOW?

The total population of the people living in Bolivia are 11.2 million people in the year The estimated population for males are about 5,334,727 people and for womens there are about 5,456,155 people. Most Bolivians travel through bus more than other viechles but if there is a place where buses don't reach, they use camonies (lorries) but rarely do. Bolivia has 18 merchant boats to send materials/food to other countries.

STORY OF THE FLAG The Bolivian flag was created after 11 days of gaining independence from Spain which is August 17, The flag was created with green- red-green stripped across the flag horizontally with the red strip being a little wider than the greens. The red strip had 5 stars on it representing the 5 provinces at that time (La Paz, Potosí, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca and Santa Cruz) and the flag was waved on top of Cerro Rico in Potosí by Simón Boliviar. This is why Aug.17 is called "Día de la Bandera". Then after about a year on 1826 July 26, a man named Congress modified the flag by making the colours yellow-red-green and replacing the 5 stars with the nationalcoat of arms. Then finally president Manuel Belzu changed the flag again to the colours found on the national flowers Kantuta and Patuju which are red-yellow-green. This happened on Nov.6, 1851and this flag is the flag you see today.

LAWS & TRAVEL TIPS A STRANGE LAW: Bolivia has a strange law about rubber trees. They state that if the land that has rubber trees growing on it does not belong to anyone, it is declared the government's land. TRAVEL TIPS: Here are some travel tips if you go to Bolivia. Transporting using viechles can be tough Make sure you know exactly where you are going The transportation costs are very cheap so you could use taxis rather than buses. Make sure you know your money because Bolivians don't give out change that accuratley.

NATIVE ANIMALS Native animals that are popular and well-known are camels, llama, guanaco and alpaca. A very rare animal is a flamingo called Andean flamingo. Unique animals that can be found are Capybara, the Amazon river dolphin and an animal called Sabiru.
