Fire Dancers on Playa Principal

Always saddened to see the children forced to work by their parents here. Especially the mom stays in the background forcing the bobblehead selling children to cozy up to tourists who overpay often not taking the bobblehead and acknowledging it for the begging it is.

IMO, It is only begging when you fail to buy the thing they are selling. Get to know some of these kids. One who is now a married adult put himself (with a little help from others) through school being a little vendor. I haven't seen him in several months but I believe he and his wife are both still going to school.
