Some westerners tried to help very young kids living on a garbage heap. Most didn't have a shirt or still had to find shoes. They put one in a foster home and send him to school. He ran away back to the garbage heap. He just wanted to play with friends all day, this school stuff was like prison to him. The thing that surprised me the most was how happy they were. Kids will just be kids regardless apparently and people get used to anything.
