Children on the streets

I am appalled at how many children there are living on the streets, begging for money with their toddler siblings, or selling cigarettes way past midnight. In the U.S., this would be an outrage. Of course, this is not to say that Ecuadorians do not care but there is a serious problem here. I think this is why I see myself working abroad. I'm looking into organizations that work with these kids, and I remember my research on MANTHOC, a child-worker's organization in Peru. Something has always told me that what I learned from them would influence my life. Here's an article about who they are and what they do:

My friend said that there's so much in this world to make you feel guilty. This is something I've struggled with but I think this is the battle I will choose.
