In trying to help someone in a developing nation, we can compare their situation, feel sorry for them, and start a lifetime of only sending money. Could I suggest that the real way to help, is to show them how to stand on their own feet, independent of foreign money. By Gary Shotton #000184

Painful but very important subject. It’s hard to talk about it, but necessary. There is no easy way about it and unfortunately only through hard lessons this truth is learnt.

Alla,
Thanks for your truthfulness in sharing. Yes, this subject can be painful but with our teachings, we hope to lead people to a better way. I hate to see begging people on the street. I once was in Mexico where a lady had her children with her on the street and one was about 12 years old. This little girl was being used to get more money and the little girl did not want to show her face or acknowledge her situation. My heart went out to them but putting more money in the bowl was not going to help the situation. I believe God, that we can make a difference in people’s lives. You are a blessing! Gary
