We recently visited our son and his family who live in Africa. They are constantly assailed by beggars. He seems to have thought through the idea carefully and does this: he keeps his car ashtray and his pocket full of small bills (which in that country equal about 8 cents each, which is maybe “equivalent” to one of our dollars) and he always gives them to disabled beggars but not to those young and healthy. And especially never to young mothers with a baby at the breast. Instead he gives them a lecture (in English, which they likely don’t understand) saying, “you are young and healthy. You should make injera and sell it on the street. Everyone eats ingera.”
