and what happens to some of these kids that get handouts......they don't want to work as they grow older and rather get handouts....
you are setting up these kids to get into trouble as they become teenagers and become trouble makers and even worse...trust mi

Please do not give the kids handouts, regardless of how it makes you feel inside. This encourages the begging culture and does not motivate them to succeed. Would you do the same back home?
