Some believe generosity is the right approach, while others think it may encourage criminal gangs to exploit these children.

    Questions:

    1. Why do you think children are forced to beg? Explain your views.

    • She can work with NGOs that rescue and rehabilitate children.
    • She can encourage people to donate to charities instead of giving money directly.
