Women with babies begging in Ubud...

Posted by Freogal on Wednesday, 11. July 2012 at 07:05 Bali Time:

We arrived in Ubud yesterday & walking along monkey forest rd to get some dinner we were surprised to see women with babies or very small children begging. I tell you, it was heartbreaking & We honestly, ethically, didn't know what to do? We gave some money, but this felt so tokenistic when we were about to have a lovely meal.

What should we do next time?
