In Tavan village, many poor children give up their studies so that they can earn extra income to support their family by selling handicrafts, bangles to foreigners.
I met 2 pitiful Tavanese brothers (about 5-6 years old) at the village food store. Their dad had died and their mum was a hopeless opium addict. And these 2 poor boys have to survive on leftover food at the food store.
Although these children live a life of hardship and poverty, they remained cheerful, hopeful and contented. Sad to say, this kind of spirit is missing in many children in my own country.
