APTOPIX Senegal Beggars Banned
A Quranic student whose legs are bowed from polio, right, is helped across a busy street by a fellow student, as they beg to meet the daily quota imposed by their Quranic teacher in the Parcelles Assainies neighborhood of Dakar, Senegal Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2010. Senegal's government announced last week that it was stepping up its campaign against begging in the streets of the West African nation, where tens of thousands of children wander barefoot and swarm cars for change. Scattered police sweeps have reduced the number of street beggars, but many have no choice but to defy the ban. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)
