2 friends In Need

Jan. 3, 2005: Manila

I was headed down to Lunetta Park (Rizal Park) and saw Rosa & her friend on the way, so they came with me for the afternoon.

I don't know Rosa's friends name, but I would see this girl alone at night - sitting accross the street from a girlie bar frequented by foreigners, and the girls mother would come out at certain times to talk to her & comb her hair...then she'd go back into the club to her customers, and I'd just shake my head trying to understand.

The child has a beautiful smile & nature, and didn't seem to be in need of food; she was always well-kept & had clean clothes, etc - but she'd always have to spend her nights sitting alone accross the street from where her Mama was working the foreigners.
