I always carry small notes in my pocket of an evening for these kids. But what i found made them real happy was popping into the minimart and buying some milo milk and some lollies, the smiles and giggles were precious. I noticed this year they would say it was to raise money so they can go to school. I dont mind giving them a couple of rup and some goodies. You do have to watch out for some of the boys(and girls?) they work together and as one is pleading with you the other picks your pocket.It hasn't happened to me but my last two trips I have spoken to tourists that have lost there phone and another his wallet.
