Hi all,
Last year I remember walking around with my friend and small children holding out their hands for coins/money - even following for a distance. This wasnt nice to be confronted with - I did want to help out but I was scared that if I gave to one, that I would be surrounded by too many to help all, or be wracked with guilt for helping one and not all - at some point you do have to say 'no more' - so I ended up not giving at all.
Do any of you more experienced have any tips for how to deal with this situation - Its easy enough to walk away and just say 'no' to one and all, but is there some way I/my friend could do something beneficial - even something minor- while we are over there in Dec?
Thanks
Stuff
