Have you made friends with a street kid?

Yesterday in our office which is also a warehouse and a factory, came in a 7-yo kid who was so dirty and smelled like she hasn't bathe in 2 or 3 days. She was not asking for anything except that she wanted to see what we were doing because she heard from the neighbors that we make soaps. Since production for soaps wasn't done inside a closed room, I let her in to observe from a distant seat. While we were doing our work, she was singing so happily as if not minding the people around. Some of the staff were also teasing her to take a bath because she does not smell good, they were just challenging her actually in a good way so she'll be convinced to take a bath everyday even if she lives in a shanty. At the end of the day, the staff gave her extra soaps from what we produced but said that she'll be able to take a bath if her parents will have money to get some water. Instead of letting her go home to take a bath, we let her take a bath in our wash area using our cooling shampoo and shower gel so she'd feel so refreshed. Can you imagine the look on her face? How would you really feel if you were like her? Would you do the same? For me, it was priceless to see her say, "I smell good!", with a beautiful smile.
