homelessness in New York, is: “why don’t the homeless just stay in shelters?” It is more complex than many New Yorkers imagine–both the problems and the purported solutions. For me, the more important question is: ‘why shelters at all?’ As someone who has spent a lot of time with the homeless–as a volunteer EMT and as someone who lived on the streets for 3 nights–I know firsthand how we have failed our homeless population. Providing shelters, both private and public, may seem like a solution…

According to the City of Savannah website, Savannah currently hosts 20 different homeless camps. Additionally, the statistics also show that the homeless population in Savannah fluctuates between 1,000 and 4,000 people (savannahga.gov). To say I was surprised by this information would be a lie. I see the face of the homeless population every time I go downtown. I see their faces at Forsyth Park on Sunday mornings, when they line up to get a meal. I see the Mother’s with their signs, begging for…

Experiencing Heritage Day was truly an inspirational and touching event that has changed my perspective of not only the people of the Lehigh Valley, but the community as a whole. Seeing the way that the less fortunate individuals of our population are treated for healthcare was eye-opening to say the least. The homeless of the Lehigh Valley are not provided with the clean and safe facilities that a majority of the general population has access to. The generous professionals and volunteers at…

But this doesn't take effect until 2018, this should be put into effect by the end of 2016, and also build more homeless shelters with that money. The first thing the government should do is build more homeless shelters, if plans for more homeless shelters are…

These performances are a great opportunity for students to share a narrative about a significant life event. I am planning on doing a story about what happened while I was volunteering in Keokee, Virginia. While volunteering I came across a puppy who was in very bad shape and needed immediate medical care. This was a situation where I realized not only did I care dearly about the people I was trying to help but also this dog who had found itself in a very unfortunate situation. This was a…
