| Alka March 28, 2004 11:37 AM PST Ranjan, I know someone, who teaches violin to these children on every Sunday. I will ask for the name of the organisation. These children were drug pedllers. they sold and consumed drug as well. Now they are going to schools and studying. | ||

| delhi brat March 27, 2004 08:17 PM PST did you know that all delhi beggars have traffic junctions / territories alloted to them ? which is why you see the same faces at the same junctions every time. believe it or not, they also rotate locations amongst themselves. they have a biradari that handles all this, and the decision of the biradari is law. it is extremely controlled and organised, like any other money spinning machine. | ||

| neha March 27, 2004 02:20 PM PST i agree with you completely.i used to be this real softie with beggars, till i got taken for a real bad ride by an old woman and her supposedly pregnant daughter...now i don't give, to anyone.i realise i might be tarring all of them with the same brush, but i'll live with that... wonderbug is right, CRY and SOS Children's villages are good.So is Prayas, they work with juvenile delinquents...official term for just some kids who took the wrong turn somewhere along the way... | ||

| W-bug March 27, 2004 01:42 PM PST I also once wrote about the beggar issue. If you don't give them, you are an 'unfeeling soul' and if you DO give them, you are a bad citizen. Its a no-win situation. CRY, SOS Children's Villages are two that I am aware of. | ||
