We wish to educate our peers on the plight of the homeless in our community. We want them to know the stories of the people who find themselves living on the streets and the organizations that help to get people back on their feet. We hope that they will be inspired to treat people with kindness and understanding and maybe to do something to help this challenging issue in our communities.
Our students have noticed that there are a number of homeless individuals in our immediate community, and they are interested in working with a local shelter to learn more about the issue of homelessness. They plan to serve dinner at the Midnight Mission, getting a chance to interact with the individuals the mission serves and plan an education and advocacy campaign for the students at our school regarding their service and things we can do to help our local community and homeless population.
