How wonderful Keith, I do admire that. I saw many ragged little boys with their begging tins out in the streets of Dakar. I was told that parents send their boys to a madrassa (or Muslim Koranic school). The teacher there exploits them, beating them if they don't bring back enough in their tins. They looked to me to be half-starved and ill. When I tried to give them money, my trusty taximan warned me that it would be foolish, as the 'teacher' would grab it all and the poor little ones given bad food to eat just the same. Their parents had handed them over because they couldn't afford to feed them. Education and contraception seem to me to be a good start!
