How about doing car washes, yard sales, odd jobs, collecting & recycling
cans, things like that, your friend and her youth would learn more about
responsibility, pride and self reliance that way, than by begging for
handouts from anonymous strangers. Isn't that what perpetuates the
social problems in reservations and ghettos in the first place?
