@MGR I think it's really hard to know what to do, who to give to and how you're money is going to be spent. I'd prefer on a whole to know that there's an agency, a group or a non-profit that was looking after people who need help or assistance. I'd especially like to know what the elderly are being looked after but this doesn't seem to be something that is guaranteed in Bulgaria.  So if and when I see these older people begging--I give it to them. It seems like the least I can do.

Anyhow, I am glad you like the blog! And thanks for the comment.
