Set-up
Not to worry, that boy is doing fine. After smearing himself with animal blood, the young boy lies down among the passing crowd. The set-up, meant to induce pity and sympathy, allows him and his friends to collect a lot of money. Enough to buy cigarettes and glue (a cheap drug which they will sniff all day).

These children I met in Katmandu have access to two meals a day through a drop-in centre, at 9 am and 5 pm. But the contract is unambiguous: after a group prayer, they must breathe in the face of one of the workers at the drop-in centre, and if they have been sniffing glue, there is no meal for them.
