BEGGING HAS BECOME A WAY OF LIFE || BEGGAR
October 2015
Guyana is very rich in natural resources, but begging has become a major issue in Georgetown and other areas of the country. Indeed, something has gone terribly wrong in Guyana where in recent times there has been an upsurge in begging based on the large number of persons, including children, who are asking the public for money daily. This issue is so sensitive that no one wants to discuss it for fear of being seen as attacking instead of helping the poor.There is hardly a street in the city without beggars. They are everywhere.The public is likely to encounter them at shopping centers, supermarkets, fast-food restaurants, rum shops and night clubs or at the markets. It appears that begging has become the new growth industry in Guyana.
Begging has become a major social issue, a public nuisance, an obvious personal tragedy. It is a tragic situation for the unfortunate in society to be in. The previous administration was oblivious of it, now it is up to this government to get to the root of the problem and solve it before it becomes more of an irritant in society. It should be noted that the survival of the rich depends on the actions and behavior of the poor.
Once upon a time, there were a few street beggars mostly around Georgetown. For some of them, it was a profession of sorts, for others, it was for their survival. Then there are a few who reportedly earned more money from begging to deposit into a bank account than many hardworking persons in gainful employment.
In Guyana, begging has traditionally been a difficult decision for the average citizen, especially for women, even in cases where they had fallen on hard times. Pride was a major factor that prevented women from begging. They had preferred to suffer in silence and perhaps die of starvation before becoming a beggar. They would only ask close relatives and friends for help. The bonds of family and friendship were so strong back then that people felt it was their responsibility to assist those in their community who had unfortunately suffered setbacks. Today, times have changed, as people have become more individualistic and selfish and no longer believe in being their brothers’ or sisters’ keeper.
A number of beggars who are roaming the streets are young men. Most are without proper clothing and their appearance and behavior leave little doubt that they need money to satisfy their appetite for illegal drugs. Others have mental issues and would not seek treatment. But not only young men are beggars, quite a number of senior citizens on fixed income are also asking relatives,friends and even strangers for help, mainly to buy food or pay for other necessities. In these tough economic times, the government subsidies they were getting for utilities were slashed by the new government in return for G$3,875increase in their pensions which is some cases is less than the subsidies.
Generally, most beggars have always claimed to be hungry so as to get sympathy from the public and would be donors. But when they are offered a meal instead of money, they would become upset and abusive because their preference is for cash. The plight of some beggars is compounded by the fact that relatives and friends who previously may have assisted them, are also struggling to make ends meet, and are no longer able to help out as they did before. The government has to devise a strategy to help some beggars return to a productive life style. Agencies aligned with the Ministry of Social Protection are ideally suited to take the lead in this regard.
The government is obligated to put an end to widespread begging. Their plight must be addressed with a sense of urgency and compassion by the government to help return them to a normal life. Guyana would be better-off without beggars. Yeah this so difficult. Pray pray pray

Difficult Lives of Child Beggars alive
What brings these children to a different country to beg. 1
The sight of children in dirty clothes sitting on roadsides, on the flyovers, with a small cup, begging for money, appeals to the emotions of every passerby. Some drop coins in the cup and some ignore them. How many passerby realize the reason that brings these child beggars to Thailand?
Mr.Worachet Khieochan and Mr.Ekaluk Loomchomkae from Missing Persons Center, the Mirror Art Foundation, are the authors of a new book that tells the true story of five child beggars in Thailand. They spent almost four months collecting and processing the data. Emerging from the research was the shocking discovery that some of the children were sold by their parents for the brokers for only 2,000-2,500 baht (US $50-62). These children are from Cambodia and Myanmar.
Thueng (not real name), whose story is featured in the book, is a 12-year-old boy from Cambodia. He was brought from his grandma’s house to Bangkok by his mother. In his mother’s home he was beaten by his stepfather. After running away from home, he was tricked into becoming a beggar. With the help of the Poipet Transit Center he returned to Cambodia with the authors of the book after being rescued. The authors discover that children were brought to Thailand to beg by both Cambodian brokers and their parents. How can their lives be traded for such a small sum of money?
In Mae Sod, Tak Province, some children are treated as second class citizen. Because they are undocumented, they are not regarded as Thai even though every morning children sing Thai national anthem to show respect to the country. The ‘unregistered’ status of these children severely limits their educational opportunities and makes them vulnerable to being sold into begging.
Mr.Sombat Boonngan-anong, Head of the Mirror Art Foundation, noted that all children must be protected under the Thai Child Protection Law. They should not be brought or forced to be beggars whether or not they come with their parents or strangers. He believes that giving money to beggars will not help them but instead, will increase the number of beggars coming from neighboring countries to Thailand. The public should be aware of this issue.
Other stories in the book include that of an 8-year-old girl from Mae Sod who was taken to Bangkok by a broker. She had to walk 100 kilometers through the forest to Bangkok, and was drugged to keep her awake while begging. Another story tells of a boy who was taken from his father by his mother to beg in the city. As a result his father became an alcoholic due to depression. A fourth story is about two boys who are brothers and the stark contrast between their lives begging on the streets and the life they should have in school. Anyone who read the book will no longer wonder whether they should drop the coins in the cup or call the appropriate authorities to rescue them. yes of course the I don't know..

Drink at the Blind Beggar alive
Your author struggled to choose the hook for today's item, as the truth is that the Blind Beggar in Whitechapel is a legend in itself. The pub is probably best known for its connection with the Kray Twins, after the incident in 1966 when Ronnie Kray shot and murdered George Cornell, an associate of a rival gang, as he was sitting at the bar. but there is so much more to it than that...
The pub is also the birthplace of the Salvation Army, as it was outside the public house which previously stood on the site that William Booth, founder of the organisation, gave his first open air sermon in 1865.
The pub itself was built in 1894 on a site previously occupied by another inn. The pub is named after Henry de Montfort, a son of Simon de Montfort, the famous leader who called the first directly elected parliament in medieval Europe. Henry was apparently wounded and lost his sight in the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and used to beg at the crossroads, becoming referred to as the Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green.

Over the last 10 years, the rich have got richer and the beggars have reappeared on the streets. They are professional beggars of a new breed. Yes, and they are doing it very nicely.
When we see beggars on traffic signals, temples, footpaths or outside restaurants, we are filled with remorse, we pity them and hope for them to have a better life. However, this article will certainly change your mind.
Although India has many people living under the poverty line, the act of begging that actually happen are systemized and practised properly. There are certain gangs in every city and they have a gang leader who manages the whole group. All the earnings that the beggars receive go the gang leader and this is how it works.

Beggar Alive
beggar
A beggar is a poor person who asks others, or begs, for money or food. Another word for a beggar is a "panhandler," although both terms are vaguely offensive. No one wants to be a beggar.
Many people who are beggars are also homeless and haven't been able to find jobs. Sometimes people use the word in an informal, pitying way: "Poor little beggar, he works so hard!" Another informal term is "to beggar belief," as when something is so incredible that you find it hard to believe. Another expression is “beggars can’t be choosers” which means you get what you get and you don’t get upset.
