Strictly speaking perhaps these are not "street children" since they live with their parents who illegally build their shacks on land owned by others out of materials scavenged from the dumps. The parents also spend their days searching for anything that can be recycled and earn at most about $2 a day. Sometimes the children beg. Few attend school. They are not starving but they know what hunger is. There are probably 1000's of these children in this city of 28 million souls. We feed 20 a day.
