Wearing school uniforms, doesn't always mean they go to school. Bandra church used to collect used clothes from parishners to be given to the needy, and those who could not afford to cloth themselves... Mario responds: Seb is absolutely right - just as seeing a policeman in uniform doesn't mean the man is a policeman - he may be a Bollywood actor, perhaps he got his uniform from the same Bandra church - and writing a post on Goanet from Dubai, without seeing the school kids in question, doesn't mean the poster has a clue what he is writing about. I wonder if they got their school ties, socks and shoes and book bags from the same Bandra church. The next time I must remember to get affidavits on stamp paper verified by a notary. Here is a Goanetter who always knows what she writes about: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-March/174691.html
