Lost Children

Photo of Children begging on the streets of Quito, Ecuador

 

The poor of Ecuador are poor beyond the imagination of those of us surfing the internet and using computers. The children do not attend school, they are forced by their parents to wander the streets and beg for money from travelers and business people. If they go home empty handed they are not fed. This young boy was begging for money with his very tiny baby sister strapped to his back.
