Helping People Help Myself

Looked like a tribal woman who is holding a child in her arm. It's a construction site where there is one man is supervising 6 workers including the woman. It's about 38 degree celsius ( over 100 F) during the day. A pile of bricks in distance, that supposed to be put on the ground. No cart and no equipment and you have only one hand available in this heat and strong sunshine. How long one can work? how many bricks she can carry during a day? how much she will be paid?

This is one of examples anyone can see and it may be merely one of daily scenes in Delhi/India.
I saw a 5-year-old girl holding a baby at Delhi station in 2005. She cast a significantly strong stare on me with streching her arm with an open palm. That was, probably, the eyes I had ever seen, the most powerful coercion withoug a single word. The eyes might have exhausted all of tears and compromises for her sister.

There are many cases that a mother leverage her child, most likely a girl and force her to stand on a street or to sell something in a heavy traffic. You want to avoid giving incentives to make this small child work on a street; however, at the same time, there is an emotion that one may not be able to control. That is also one part of the reality in Delhi or in India.
