Do you give alms, food or anything to street children?

In Manila, street children a numerous and is a common sight in the metropolis. They are a pityful sight but nothing much is being done by the government. Do you give alms, or money or food or anything to these children? I do selectively, and I have a personal pledge to give more to them during the Christmas holidays. The children pictured in my photo are more casually dressed than those on the streets of Manila. This photo is part of my photo collection in Flickr.com. See www.flickr.com/ericgozar.

I do. sad to say, I cant give to all..only if i have that much! Its very sad scenario indeed..maybe not just the government is to be blame! The people itself is not that responsible to take consequences of their actions..Have a great day!!
