Some of these very young girls have actually been told to leave their village as they are un wed, this is what a lovely waitress told me a few years ago. So now i never give money in case it goes to someone else but choose to buy them a decent meal and give clean clothes, soap etc. I guess i will never really know the real reason they are there but i'm glad i get to help fill the kids belly and just love those smiles.
