The best way to help - special answer

I'm very glad to tell you that I received an answer that really satisfies the question of "how is the best way to help?".
I received that answer from a person trained for social services using the Yahoo Answers web site. Here the answer:

"Usually by the time a person hits the streets, there are multiple issues that they are facing: poverty, addiction, mental health, lack of education and/or skills etc.

Giving someone a smile and a coffee is nice in the moment, but to really help people, they have to want to be helped. Usually there are non-profit organizations that have the training and the staffing to address the multi-level challenges that accompany people who are living on the streets.

The best way you can help is to volunteer at these organizations, educate yourself on the issues, or if you don't have time for that, at least strive to support these charities through donations (money or otherwise)

Just my 2 cents."

The best way to help

Hello! This time is not a good new.. it is more a way to get information about what you think about helping people or even countries.

• Dow we have to give money to beggars? Or is it better to give them food?
• Is it good to give food or better to give work?
• Is it good to give work or better to give opportunities?
• What about knowledge?

Many people help organizations like Unicef and many think that their money goes to pay salaries of Unicef employees (I personally like to cooperate with Unicef). Others are supporting individuals that help people to build wells or other things... but then they don't have security of how their money is managed.
