Look, if you give them money, they will just buy the sweets anyway. They are still children, I know, I live in Bali and work in a small village and have 143 of them under my wings. Kids are kids in any country. We have serious problems as the village is too poor for a dentist and in our childcare centre we have our brush teeth program but that is only 20 of them, the primary school has 113 kids and I cant get them to brush at school as they are older and cheekier and mum and dad don't buy toothbrushes or toothpaste as they are trying to buy seeds to farm, so maybe 1 out of 3 of those brushes will get home, that's better than nothing so if you want to do this I applaud you.
