Beggars in Nicaragua

Beggars in Nicaragua. Poverty. Stratification of society.
I'm different now look at beggars. Today, for example, a woman came up and asked him to buy her a milk powder and diapers for the 5-month daughter who has cancer. Perhaps this "divorce". Or indeed the fate of so heavy her. Rather, even if the story is fictional, the fate is still difficult, because otherwise she would not have had to invent such stories.
Later, talking to her, I found out that she was 20 years old, and that it is not competent, as well as most of the local population. In 20 years, not able to read ?! It is in the modern world of telephones, computers, technology ?! What awaits her ?! Whom it can work?
Whom she can never become? That she can understand about the modern world, its laws - the laws of life at all ?! At the same time, it looks pretty clever. In their twenty, she had thick, - how is it possible? Here about the weight I say, how about the figure of a certain way of life, leading to certain processes in the body, but in a place with him, and the values of the individual ideals. Of course, not 100% it works, but in general, for me personally, gives information. Maybe she is not 20? Who will disassemble it ..
Or approached the boy 11 years, and asked for money. From mango proposed by me, I refused. He showed his fresh bruises, - hoping to put pressure on the pity. I know how it hurts - not so long ago she was in an accident.
He wore nothing but shorts, he was barefoot. And it looks like there is nothing, in principle, of the things .. (he even impossible to steal a camera phone and the computer, and documents - they had simply no original)
Surely this is one of the children of the district, or the like, where they live Moussoro-gatherers and others poor.
What about him? What is his destiny? That he had at home? What kind of relationship with your parents? Does he have any parents? And what will happen to him next? Will just steal from tourists or sniff glue to forget (as many here, openly doing)? He must also not competent, he is unlikely to go to school, in between finding money for food ..
And the fate of every day you see here several times. State Program of literacy here began just a few years ago, which means half of the country - just illiterate. These are the people who can not stand up for themselves at the level of the law, who believe in the word that does not erase contacts from uradennyh phones, or even take out the SIM card, - they simply do not understand the logic of things. It is those who drink Coca-Cola, "because it is tasty," and eat food fried in butter 10th warming, unaware of the amount of kantsirogenov it. Those who throws bags and bottles in the window of the bus with a young age, because no clue about where this goes on, those who have at McDonalds on holidays because they believe advertisements that "it's cool" ..
These are the people who have children, usually appeared early (because contraception they are usually too trouble), and they also educate and teach ... what? The same is likely ..
This is what we - the people, in those moments when we are hungry and not well educated, when we think that the "circumstances so happened", when we give the responsibility for what happens in our lives and the planet in the hands of the "powers that be" in the hands of someone anything but themselves. It's us, when we divide the world into "friends and foes", when we have no hope, when we feel lonely, we feel that we are not wanted.
At the same time, in the same city, there are a number café where clean, comfort, cool (air conditioning), connecting to the Internet, other people drink coffee - for $ 3 cup (at the time when the hearty dish with rice and meat can be bought for 2!). Basically it is the foreigners, but there are also local. These are people with a very different understanding, a different perspective of looking at life. And, as a rule, with a very different personal history. And it's not because they are smarter, prettier, or some other feature is better than the ones - the first. And just so it happened. We can look for an explanation for this, but one fact - it so happened - we all originally born different "base" (the family, talents, appearance, house, country, etc.). And as a rule, very early in life, we especially can not affect it .. and then we become hostage to this very base,
Why do I not share with these children even out? Here I'm talking about children - adults, more and more difficult. It's not much, but would give them a little more time to do something else than just begging... LINK
