Caption/Description

Three of the boys who are part of a group of nine homeless kids approach the inhabitants of a vehicle for possible handouts, they sometimes sit and beg on the streets till late at night depending on how much thay have made during the course of a day.The boys all share the same dangerous habit of glue sniffing ,this ironically cements the bond between them. Location Fietas,Johannesburg
