Carrying tin cans,
our teenagers brace the elements
and glares from unmoved strangers
to raise funds for the less fortunate
every Saturday

Kids caring for kids...It is wonderful to hear of such things! We all too often hear the negative aspects of society. This made me exclaim: "Right on!"  

Warm hugs,
Linda

I'm liking them so far..

Yeah, I think that defines Singaporean kids. We're just lucky each of us doesn't have to do it every other week. But of course, we have enough secondary schools and tertiary institutions to provide their students on rotational basis.
