It has been found out that one of the reasons the number of street children is increasing on the streets is because they can get an income with less sweet, all they need is to practice how to place there hands when they are begging and follow you up for a good distance singing their usual song "give me some money". Just like anybody, i know the situation these children they are in makes you want to help, but on second thoughts you may realise that giving them money or food from the streets is not the best way to help them. If you did give them that, you will find out that you are doing more harm than good because as one street child(beggar) gets something to eat for a day. And informs others, the numbers eventually multiplies, and this is where you you find crime rates increasing as some may fail to get food for the day. And also you find that most of these street children they do not really beg money for food but they want to use it for buying drugs and sniff. Well i conclude saying that before someone really decides to give anything to a street child, think twice. Are you really helping this child as you may be thinking or... If you really need to help the needy, find genuine organisations working with children and support them in there programs that help children. In this way i think we shall be doing something about these street children. Thanks! Christian Asiimwe www.thefyo.org I actually agree with this article.
