Guess not everybody gets that some people like to see the joy and happiness that getting a gift gives to a person. You can't tell me that giving a gift to school children teaches them that tourists bring gifts and teaches them to beg. Pretty sure that if they live near Negril or mobay they have a family member who works in the tourist industry or makes money from tourists somehow. Sorry to be negative but if I am bringing something to Jamaica for a friend or a school I want to be the one giving it, partly for the reason I just stated and also because I want to make sure it gets to who I want it to get to. I didn't see anyone jumping on the boardies here who took the time and initiative to tour around the small towns near Negril to just randomly hand out cheap toys to kids and telling them they are turning kids into beggars. Sorry we all can't afford to hand out checks and cash but every bit helps. I say if it brings you joy and makes you feel good to bring school supplies and toys for kids by all means keep doing it. My wife's greatest joy is handing out candy to any Jamaican kid anytime she see,s one anywhere on the island. Hope she doesn't read some of these comments because she will just think she is making beggars out of them instead of making her and them both smile
