    Re: Shanty Town

    giving handouts in Negril is self defeating....causes more problems than you can imagine.....
    mi live in Negril most of the time and most kids here don't understand why mi not giving out stuff like the foreigners do....
    makes it really hard on mi and the other expats that live in and around Negril.......
    and what happens to some of these kids that get handouts......they don't want to work as they grow older and rather get handouts....
    you are setting up these kids to get into trouble as they become teenagers and become trouble makers and even worse...trust mi
    like Bnewb said...give to the NET and the soup kitchen etc or the schools themselves....jah bless

    Please do not give the kids handouts, regardless of how it makes you feel inside. This encourages the begging culture and does not motivate them to succeed. Would you do the same back home?
