The thing you have to keep in mind is this:

When you give something to someone who has less than you, and is in need, you do it for yourself, not for them. You do it because it makes you feel good to help them up. If you concern yourself with what they are going to do with it, and treat your gift as though it were still yours....then you haven't gotten value for your gift. regardless of what they do with it, it will never satisfy your expectation, so .....
