One of the hardest things to get used to in Honduras is the begging that goes on. Every time we are stopped at a traffic light someone begs for money from us. We have started to keep all of our one denomination limpiras (about 5 cents) to hand out to them. Wayne even sets criteria for our donations...needs to be handicapped or obviously having a problem...not just handouts.
The other day we were stopped and watched this little boy talking to the car in front of us. He reached into the car and came out with an unfinished bag of chips that they had given to him. He immediately went to the tree next to us, sat down, and started his bag of chips. He was so excited...and showed them to his mom.
They are such beautiful children...it is hard not to help everyone of them.
