- Time of past OR future Camino
- I walked the Camino beginning from Burgos in 2002. I wish to go again in 2014.
I was approached three different times either before or after Sarria by deaf girls with slates, indicating they want a donation. Does anyone know if these girls come from an area school? Has anyone else met them? What is your reaction? I ignored the requests with a polite smile the first two times. For the third time, I did give money, more because I felt I needed to give money for my soul than to benefit their cause. A friend who spent her life teaching at a school for deaf becomes angry when the deaf beg for money, as she feels it is demeaning. Thoughts? Marcia (from Chicago)
