    Re: Shanty Town

    We have brought school supplies before and brought them directly to a school. Years ago we used to bring old computer equiptment to a lady who had an internet cafe in the west end and she brought it to a school and used it to teach kids. I agree that handouts justs feeds the problem but i dont think i will ever be able to keep my lady from bringing loads of candy to give out to every kid she sees when we are out and about in jamaica lol.

    You should have her read this thread, and the linked article. This really isn't some abstract idea, it's a real problem, and any and all tourists giving hand outs only contributes to the issue. I don't say that to be rude in any way, but it's reality. I won't even attempt to get involved in that TA thread, but I like to think the posters here are more receptive to the facts.
