Disheartening


3 hours ago I was at the temple where I am trying to build a bathroom when I heard screams coming from a group of children and a few adults. In the center were a pair of boys fighting as little boys sometimes do.
I ran over and pulled them apart and realized that they were not angry.
My friend Pone Pone investigated and found that some people had paid the little boys to beat each other for their entertainment. She had a little meeting and tried to explain right from wrong, but when you are really poor, this concept is a little hard to grasp especially when you can make some money. Click on the picture and look at how intently these little boys are listening. I can not tell you how disheartening this is.
