Kids Working the Streets

The government this week announced a program to help rescue children begging or working on the streets. I hope the program succeeds. Everywhere I've been in the world (including Seattle, Washington) I've seen this happening. I see very little of it now compared to when we first visited Lima 4 years ago. But that may just be my area, not all of Lima. In Guatemala it was horrible - little kids, not more than 4 years old - begging or selling trinkets in the streets at 10 o'clock at night.
