Chris' Deployment Journal

This kid is typical of the boys that I dealt with all day and was also the straw that broke the camel's back in regard to giving toys to boys. While the girls are almost all sweet, shy, and very grateful, the boys can be absolute jerks.

I saw him standing alone and thought, what a great time to give out a larger 'lahaba', in this case a big stuffed elephant from the Goddard House folks (I think). I threw it to him, he scooped it up, put it under his arm, and immediately started asking me for money, food, more lahaba, etc. It really made me pretty angry.
