At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their pocket money on things like candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money. To try to get his peers（同龄人）to do the same, the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank, the Bartselana Student Bank, which allows kids of all ages to become financially（金融上）independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012, the bank is the world's first bank for kids. To become a member, a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste（固体废弃物）and set a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank \every month and follow other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.
The waste in the bank is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to Jose's efforts, pay a higher-than-market price for everything brought in by the bank members. The money received is placed in the personal account（账户）where they collect until the savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw the money, or choose to leave it and
continue to grow for a bigger aim. \a child could not do this type of project,\not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class.\
The boy's efforts paid off, and by 2013, the bank had over 200 members, who brought in one ton of recyclable waste. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local
institutions, has ten educational centers. They are designed to teach the over 3,000 students, aged 10 to 18, to become financially independent, use their money wisely, and help the environment.
Not surprisingly, Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards.

The local government decided this was a good time of a year to try to raise people's spirits, and in 2002 they set up the Winter Lights Festival（February 7 to 10）.
