Tip 1 – Recognize them and treat them as fellow humans. You don’t need to provide money to acknowledge or greet someone.

Tip 2 – Treat them with dignity, realize that the loss of self worth can be more painful than the loss of belongings. Smile when engaging with them and take the time to learn their names.
