They headed to the crowded area near Olympic Stadium to take advantage of spreading the information to as many people as possible. As observed, many people were passing by, as it was the morning rush hour. KYSD youths in the shirts with “7 Billion” slogan caught the attention of many people. KYSD youths also distributed leaflets to many passengers who passed by the area.

The population of the world is expected to reach 7 billion in 31st October 2011. With the increasing number of the world population, campaigns have been being done to let each individual take the problem into account.
