really?? Considering they are a self-sustaining community and don't get to the nearest town that often, I'm betting candy isn't something very accessbile...there fore it is a treat. UNLESS it happened in the past that someone passed on some bad candy to them and they don't want it anymore.
One of my favorite memories was in China, all these little kids surrounded me when they saw me eating a ferrero rocher and I had a few to spare... And we have certainly handed out Candy to the children of the folks who work on my parent's farm in Guatemala, no compliants!
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
