In South Africa to see people begging along intersections is all too common. I came across a middle aged man with a sign, saying he needed help. For a week I drove past and handed him a hot lunch and a coke. That weekend whilst doing my own grocery shopping, he came to mind and I popped a few things in the trolley for him. I drove past and handed over two full grocery bags, he had tears in his eyes. A few days later he told me he found some part-time work in another part of town and he might never see me again. I think its not what we do that helps, I think its the fact that we notice them and offer whatever help we can.
