STREET CHILDREN RAID FIVE STAR HOTEL MEETING OF WORLD SOCIAL FORUM AND
GRAB ALL THE FOOD

BBC - Dozens of street children have invaded a five-star hotel food tent
and feasted on meals meant for sale at the World Social Forum in Kenya's
capital. The hungry urchins were joined by other participants who
complained that the food was too expensive at the annual anti-capitalist
get together. The police, caught unawares, were unable to stop the
free-for-all that saw the food containers swept clean. . .
A plate of food at the tent being operated by the prestigious Windsor
Hotel was selling for $7 in a country where many live on less than $2 a
day. The children, who had been begging for food, launched the raid
after being told they would have to pay for the food.
