I think this topic can have many different ways of thinking, depending of the meaning of charity for each one.
When I have walked on the street and I have could to see poor people, and they come to me to ask for money. Sometimes they are old people, children, sick, pregnant women or people who does not find a job. On first time, I gave to someone a few coins but after, I thought those coins were not enough to pay the food and medicine for this person and her/his family. But I could not to give more money because I did not have more. And when first, I felt well because I was done my charity action, then I felt frustrated because this person will continue being poor and she/he will continue asking and needing money. So my help was for a moment but it was not a solution.
I think, a good help for poor people are public charity or convents, where give breakfast and lunch to certain number of poor or sick people. This meal is free and for that, people do a long queue for many hours before. Sometimes, an old man can be staying in the queue since 4am to receive the breakfast at 7am and again the same old man has to do a new queue at 10 or 11am to receive the lunch. So, he has spent all the morning to get his food for each day. But I think, maybe could that person (it is not necessarily an old people) do any other job to get money instead of being in the queue?
I understood there are some people who think is more easier doing the queue and asking money than finding a way to make money. And the public charity, convents or all of people who like to give help can not differentiate between the people who really need help and those who do not.
Nonetheless, I do not find a suitable answer for this question yet, how could I help them?
What is your opinion about this? How could you help to poor people in your country?
I would appreciate if you tell me my mistakes in my writing.
