Children are our future, so I was appalled to learn that there are uncounted  millions (estimates exceed 120 Mn) largely ignored by the authorities and living off garbage in the streets of our world. Spending an autumnal night on a bench in Lords' Cricket Ground is a fairly futile gesture, hardly bearing comparison with their privations but if I can, with your help, raise funds to alleviate their suffering, it will serve some sort of purpose.
