Cost: "An enduring legacy of the communist downfall is the phenomenon of Mongolian street children... The children live in manholes littered with rat feces and cockroaches. They rummage through trash for scraps of food. Many are malnourished or sick from eating bad meat... But they also sing, laugh, look out for each other and fight with remarkable resilience and resourcefulness to live to see another day."
