content: where i live, there are people with dogs who have mp3 players playing over and over again on a loop "high please spare some change or some food for my dog anything helps" as well a woman whom i have seen at gathering place, who still begs for change and while she does, sounds more robotic and condescending then the mp3 loop played on too high a frequency. but charities are also suspect, many of them are used as money laundering fronts, human trafficing fronts, and are used to develop land in an area before giving it to foreign corporations to use and exploit. i find the only thing that helps is to use a carrot rather then a stick; and, because resources are finite, learn how to develop relationships with people whom are from demographics you think are worth helping, and learn how to find the individuals among them who will respond well to the help that you can offer.  not everyone wants your help, and some people will abuse the help you give them. often a conversation is enough to know if someone wants to change or not. its cool that you are supporting orphans, often the younger a person, the more significant your help is to them.
