Portraits of Delhi

Soon after our bus began to roll past her, her sad little face quickly turned into a smiling grimace as she skipped down the street. For most poor children on the streets in India, begging for money is just an everyday part of life. Some children are kidnapped by strangers + are forced to beg for money to make money for the kidnapper. Some children are even sold to traffickers by their own parents in order to pay off debts or gain income or they may be deceived concerning the prospects of training + a better life for their children. It's a very sad situation to witness. We are told not to give anything to these beggar kids as to not contribute to human trafficking.
