Take a responsible trip, why not give candy and stationery to children in poor areas?

With the development of China's economy, tourism has become a way for more and more people to relax and understand the world. Many times, travelers don't mean to offend, but if we don't understand the local customs, we will easily become unwelcome people. With the increasing experience of travelers and the improvement of their own quality, some bad habits are gradually disappearing. For example, in poor areas, not directly providing candy and stationery to those children will make them form a bad outlook on life.

Because if you give candy directly to local children, it will induce them to develop the habit of reaching for things at any time, and eventually they may get used to asking outsiders for money directly, and stationery is no exception. Besides, it is very unfair to parents who can't buy stationery or candy for their children. Because children's judgment is not enough, it is easy for outsiders to provide things that parents can't provide, which will make children doubt their parents' ability, and it is easy to have more extreme views when they enter adolescence.

So a more reasonable way is to support these children through local Hope Project or charity. Stationery is best given to local schools or teachers, who will give it to children through schools to let them know that they can only get these gifts if they go to school well.

A meaningful trip is meaningful without hurting the destination. No matter where you go, a responsible travel attitude is indispensable. In other words, we should travel in a way that respects and benefits the residents, culture and environment of the place where we travel. This is responsible travel.
