Bring Awareness

We are coming towards the end of semester in this course, hunger and homelessness. One of the most eye opening courses I have had the privilege of taking. We have gone over different aspects of hunger and homelessness from history, to personal stories, to structural issues, to organizations and programs that are established to minimize hunger and homelessness. We are now discussing ways to end this ongoing issue that seems to be increasing.  One of the main starting points is raising awareness. Our teaching project will be the start for me and others to take action towards hunger and homelessness. Educating people is one of the simplest forms to take action. I will be teaching and informing a group of young ladies who work with charity and community service. I am know that individuals are aware of homeless yet do not know what truly goes in the lives of the people both experiencing and the staff at facilities whose goal is to decrease hunger and homelessness. This is as i have mentioned before a worldwide issue, seen with our guest speakers from Cambodia. “ABC’s and Rice” is a successful organization that has helped the lives of many in Cambodia, run by Tammy Durand. The passion individuals like Tammy have, is what keeps those experiencing hunger and homelessness on their feet with hope to return to a life of stability. Tammy is admirable. Each community simply needs a group or even an individual to bring awareness and tackle down hunger and homelessness. There is more to hunger and homelessness than you make think. Get informed.
