There are a well-known sign of [[poverty]] there. They can be found in many [[Slum|slums]]. They often use and are addicted to an [[adhesive]] ''called Rugby'', which gives them their name. They use this against [[hunger]]. Rugby is cheap, and easy to get. For this reason, many street children are addicted to it. Often, rugby boys will commit crimes such as robbery to get the money needed to get the adhesive. The formula for the adhesive has also been changed, ot make sniffing it less attractive. The problem is that sniffing solvents causes permanent damage to organs organs such as the [[liver]], [[kidneys]], [[brain]], and [[heart]]. The phenomenon is not limited to boys, it also affects girls. Children usually begin sniffing because of [[peer pressure]], they see other people doing it. [[Category:Street children]]
