A child, barely pushing two years old, is placed outside on the streets with a bowl, forced to beg. She laid there unmoving. Service Scholars walking by later saw her awake and alert, and were able to play and interact with her for a short while. With the help of Bishop Merab, we were able to find out more about her. Her cousin begs close by, watching the baby and making sure she is safe and on the mat. When it got chilly, she brought out a blanket for the baby and wrapped her in it.
