Sharing
The first time I came to Cambodia, I was warned not to give money to one beggar unless you're prepared to be overwhelmed by more. Jeff got a bit of a lesson in that the other night. A boy asked for some of the food Jeff had left over on his plate at an outdoor cafe. Ever the nice man, Jeff scooped some salad and other food into an aluminum container. The next thing, like people who throw food to seagulls, were were engulfed by children. They soon dispersed, but an amazing thing happened. The boy who had been given the food began to share it with the others. That was something I hadn't expected.
