ideas for homeless






Although it is almost impossible to resolve the problem of each homeless person, I think that many things could be done to help them. First at all, the government should build a big house for them where they can sleep, take a shower, and have one lunch. it will need some people who take care of this house and supervise them. Homeless people could live in this house if they do not break the rules; for example, they have to clean the house, arrive to the house without drugs or alcohol, to help to cook, respect the schedules, and to work in order to collect some money to buy things for themselves such as cleaning implements, food, and clothes. In addition, to have a special place where psychologists help homeless people with the problem of drugs and alcohol since this is the major cause why they live this situation.








Another important idea is to have a law in the city that prohibits giving alms because if those people do not receive money from others, they will have the necessity of getting a job. Moreover, to give them opportunity of working, some people could teach them to make elemental things such as fixing a car or an electric appliance, painting, building, and so on; in this way they will have a knowledge to get a job, those courses will be free for those people. On the other hand, I am completely sure that any person can help them, not exactly with money, but giving them the opportunity to change, if we do not discriminate them; on the contrary, we respect them and support them, so they will improve.

THEY MATTER




To go to the streets and talk to some homeless people was very important for me since in this way I respect them, and I can understand why they live this situation. Besides, actually I think that they are very important as any human. This made me change my point of view about them because before talking to them, I preferred to ignore them, and to think that they did not exist since they were aggressive and they seemed to be the victims just to get money and buy drugs; Also, that they lived on streets because they looked for it. However, to know the story of Juan Camilo, a man who lives on streets, helped me to think different. Nowadays I realize that they are victims of drugs; for this reason, they have this horrible life. Although. They wish a different life; it is very difficult to get it since they do not have control on themselves. I think it is very sad to see young people, elders, and children in this problem, and not to do anything. On the other hand, that day I learnt that nobody should reject them because any person could be in this situation, a friend or a relative of us and if a person does not know and understand them, so why criticize them.
