My Start..

For my project I wish to not focus on one main point but address the points involved with each other. I was going to just focus on poverty as an economic point of view but have now decided to base it on poverty and the results it has on people of course not all homeless or people in shelters are just there because of poverty but poverty sometimes is the answer to why they can't leave and prosper in their lives. For now sadly I have yet to hear from some shelter and food banks organizations as to which day I will get started and what my job will be but I am anxiously waiting to get started, one organization which I really wish I can get involved with is Home Away From Homeless which faces these sad stories with young adults who I feel I could maybe get to know and have a stronger connection and understanding to.In this place their motto is

A Home Away From Homelessness was an “impulse of the heart” that has grown into a non-profit organization that nurtures and supports the needs of homeless and formerly homeless children and families in San Francisco and Marin. Located in Fort Mason and Marin Headlands areas—four “homes” provide a physical, emotional and spiritual break for children living in dire situations. Under the direction of Founder and Director, Jeanie Kortum, Home Away from Homelessness has received the 2006 Silver SPUR Award from the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association.



I honestly can not wait to get started and feel like I am making a difference in someone's life and who knows this could help me get some m ore ideas of how this can be stopped and controlled. I also wish to work not only in non-profitable organizations but in government run one's too of course I would not get paid for either of them, but I wish to see if there is a difference in between the two.
