These photographs were taken by photographer Dario Mitidieri, who spent a year in Bombay with the street children. We thank him for allowing us to use them.

Hashish, I presume. There is a brown substance in the picture, above the match box.

It is called "chocolate" in Portugal. Culinary metaphor, I guess.

That's terrible... those poor skinny, homeless, sick kids smoking heroin in a dirty alley. I would totally adopt them.

Wes should do something to make sure that no children would be unfortunate enough to be like that.

Well, it seems like a lengthy and very expensive process, from what I've seen on TV... the former I would have no problem with but the latter... well, I just don't have thousands to spend on adoption agencies, ya know? If I could just teleport them over here, I'd adopt them for sure.
