Throw away account. I live in South Africa where we have homeless people on almost every street corner. Because of this it is quite easy to be desensitized about the divide in wealth. It is also difficult knowing who to give money to as a lot of homeless people don't want help and will buy cheap alcohol and drugs so giving money can often enable something you really do not want. I also find it difficult to build any sort of relationship with someone homeless because they move around a lot, I've also spent a lot of time and money cleaning some people up, buying new clothes and organising job interviews for car guarding at shopping centres only to find out that I've been taken advantage of. Instead now days I give 5% of my salary to charities and NGO's who specialize in helping the needy.
