In over six years of sailing, we’ve only hit two things: we scraped a boat dock in our monohull, and ran over a bommie in the catamaran in this episode! Keith also shares his thoughts about charity and donations and why he thinks it’s more destructive than beneficial to give handouts to locals.

I’ve been doing mission work in Honduras for about 12 years. Every year when I take a new team, I require them to read a book called Toxic Charity. It speaks a lot about exactly what Keith was ranting about. If we do gift the children or communities with anything such as candy or a supply need, we always leave it with the local pastors or orphanage leaders to give as they see appropriate after we leave. It’s great advice for cruisers as well. Yell it out for the people in the back Keith!!

@Sharkeyinoz Год назад

You know Keith, it takes courage to have an opinion nowadays. Right or wrong is irrelevant, telling it how you see it, opens the discussion. Good on ya mate! …BTW I agree with you.

@benoitballs4323 Год назад

@perkjellqvist2329 Год назад

Why does it take courage to have an opinion. I would say it takes knowledge, experience and a willingness the argue your case as well as listening on the counter-case. There is no courage in that.

@richardbell5792 Год назад

Think it's a complex topic. There's only a discussion if the person with the opinion is open to listening to counter arguments and evolving their own thinking as a result. I agree that doling out candy and other "crap" freebies can create dependence and a culture of begging, so not good if you come and go and can't follow through, doesn't help long term just creates headaches for others. However, gifts that provide the means to survive e.g. fishing hooks, old sails, tools, or particularly anything that supports education e.g. notebook, pen, actually reduces dependence on passing cruisers and is a good thing. It's the old "give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish" analogy. But good strategy for generating YT comments Keith🤣

@@richardbell5792 I completely agree . We wud give books, clothes, an if we had veg that we weren't going to use .

Sadly we live in an unequal world... An til you've walked a mile in someone's shoes judgement is for God not for us .. I have met some great ppl. Been invited to huts, houses an tho by western standards these ppl wud be monetarily poor. In reality are the most richest an most in tune with mother earth. Which is how we are supposed to be. This is my opinion an feeling. I've seen many Cruisers raise money to rebuild schools in hurricane ravaged islands. An get hands on with every part ... An then there are the others ... More money then good sense.... So I live by kindness is free daily give til your heart is full!! ✌🏼💗😊⛵

ACTS 20:35: In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." JOHN 3:17: If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? PROVERBS 19:17: Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. MATTHEW 19:21: Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me " PROVERBS 14:21: It is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy. MATTHEW 24:12: Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

Honesty of your statement is already epically the best way to lay that foundation!!!

@nedhill1242 Год назад

Bill, are you familiar with the RU-vid channel “Gen Z Talks” ? It’s a young kid asking his dad questions. His dad is a lot like Keith and a contractor that has a ton of common sense and knowledge and he’s usually tinkering with something when his son is asking him questions. Check it out. This guy is a much more unfiltered version of Keith And the comments are incredible. It hasn’t been around very long, but it has become a very popular RU-vid channel. And there’s almost always, or seems like there is, classic rock in the background. You could put this kid’s dad and Keith on a stage and charge admission! It would be fantastic.

Keith! Every word on point. I work in development cooperation and travel a lot. It makes me sick if tourists give out stuff to community members they don’t know. Its always better to donate to a local charity than dropping candy or your own stuff you don’t need anymore (aka your trash). Thanks for your open statement on this 💪🏼

@Bubby869 2 месяца назад

I worked for an international NGO that used volunteers from (mostly) the U.S. and Western Europe. Volunteers would always ignore our requests that they not give gifts or tokens directly to individuals. They would always argue that they thought our local org would “keep it for themselves” (as they were being warmly hosted by said organization). It was maddening, and those ad hoc “gifts” always created resentment and conflicts among the community being “helped.”

I worked in New Guinea in the 1980's. We were told by company management to pay the local rates for anything we purchased from the locals in order not to upset the local economy where the locals would end up not being able to afford their own produce because of market distortions caused by us being over generous. We never discarded any materials used for packaging when bringing in materials for our project. All that ended up building shelters for the locals. Working in that environment was humbling and a reality check which I carry to this day.

WE AGREE with the charity aspect. We spent over several months in Ecuador in the high mountains, giving technical aid is better!!! All the villages we were trekking to in order to have some medial aid, it was the same! It is to note that we had very little to give as we were trekking the medical equipment and not personal items and you do desire to give something, we were told not to by our local guides!!!! Instead we realized that chickens and rabits were better to trade for local handmade goods! Trade is better than charity! So that not only were we trekking in with medical equipment we were now trading chickens and rabits for handmade hamocks!!! This lead to starting a connection with a crafts based trading that had these villages able to form cooperatives that would be able to send crafts to Italy to sale to help with building a smale clinic rooms in those villages and a small schoolrooms, very small! This trade continues now 20 years later and these villages could better sustain themselves! We had to teach how to care for the live stock. One village they had a feast and cooked all the rabits and chickens that night and the guide had to explain that the animals were to start breeding programs! I guess we did not make that clear. So we also had to aid them in education of the hutches and coops and construct them and hold classes. Very little could grow at those altitudes so even we had to educate ourselves! It goes back to the old adage "give them a rabbit and they eat for a meal, teach them to breed and they can sustain themselves!" I am more offended that the younger people do not think past their feelings!!! Doing something to feel better for yourself does only that, it does nothing for those people the next days, months and years!!! Bravo!!!

We go to an island & our pretty much adopted family has become 7th Day Adventist. When I ask them what they want that I can send they now say "nothing", not even for the kids. They are teaching the kids to not be materialistic. It's so refreshing. Our relationship with others on the island is made complicated bc of the expectations.They are friends that I will give gifts to if I can as I would to any friend I visit, but I always wonder if what I gave was good enough.

That and the fact that NO ONE in this forum seems to appreciate that those kids jumping into the dingy to play, were in Yemen! This is a country torn by civil war. It is a very dangerous country for US citizens to travel to, especially on a boat where there is no easy escape. They should be grateful to have made it through unscathed but instead are going on complaining about how someone else giving those kids candy, made for an uncomfortable arrival. This is a family disconnected with many of the realities of the world they travel in. Don't mess with Texans!

Hi been watching your channel on and off for the past few years. I watched you SA road trip and loved it. My family and I were missionaries in South Africa for 26 years. After watching that "Road Trip series" I became a subscriber. You are spot on with the statement that all of these free handout to the local is far more harmful to them in the long run. Giving of time and knowledge are far more beneficial than creating beggars of the indigenous peoples. And, just for a thank you. Blessing, at Vic Falls is a man I worked with about 6 years ago and I used the info on your channel to make contact with him again.

Well this is what I noticed with Plucky sailing in to Freedom. He would trade with natives for Pineapples fish Coconuts and if helping each other he would help them by giving away old Fishing gear to the Fishermen women. But it was always for something even help in some way. So to me he was doing it the right way in some places with other cruisers they would even swap beer for a fish. Don't forget there are still places that money of any currency means nothing.

Charity is neither west nor east. ACTS 20:35: In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." JOHN 3:17: If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? PROVERBS 19:17: Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. MATTHEW 19:21: Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me " PROVERBS 14:21: It is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy. MATTHEW 24:12: Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.

@nuffsaid7952 Год назад

You are spot on Kieth. Even here in the developed world we see the results every day of this virtue signalling. While some people don’t mean to and doing it out of a genuine wish to help, most are simply doing it to virtue signal “ look at me, aren’t I a good person” all the while giving things of little or no value to themselves just to get rid of it. Far better to give them the most valuable gift of all as you said, your time, but also your understanding and knowledge gained from experience. 100% correct that simple giving handouts cause extreme problems, like crime, victim mentality, laziness etc. I have seen many virtue signallers give handouts with thought of the consequences. To trade is far better, it gives the locals a sense of worth and not charity. Those that are giving books, pencils, toys etc to the school kids in these areas where they don’t have much, stop and think what you are teaching them. Instead have a beach clean up or a bush clean up competition and give the toys, books etc as prizes. That would be killing 2 birds with 1 stone, teaching the new generation to care for their environment at the same time getting the school supplies to the kids, not to mention teaching them that nothing is free. Here in Aussie the morons have created a victim mentality which is causing increasing problems, worse still the moronic government is supporting this crap and dividing the people, shameful at best, evil at worst.
