“My” Beggar Ladies

"My" Beggar Ladies

Originally uploaded by Brandy Dopkins

These two women have been on the street begging every day since we have been here. They are in different spots but nearly always to be found within a couple of blocks of our hotel. I have been smiling at them every time I see them and we have fed them whenever we have had food to give which is almost daily. (I don’t give them money because they are slaves and whatever they collect goes to the beggar king - essentially a pimp of beggars- EVIL stuff)

any way, we have made a connection and now they greet me. I asked for a picture today and they were very accommodating. I wanted something to remember them by.
