This is my first public comment.
First of all, I want to mention why I have created this blog. At this moment, I live in Argentina where I collaborate with an organization who intend to give a chance to those excluded from society; many people living in the streets, surviving with very little. In U.K., these people are commonly named "homeless" and there are oportunities like "Big Issue" to develop a tool for reinsertion in the local economy [1]. Unfortunately, not many of them achieve the precious income to hire a cheap place. Somewhere to sleep that will allow them to abandon the life in the street. I refer to those who have made an intent because hope is the first thing they loose.I will not inquire into the reasons that had leant someone to stay in the street as a permanent home. The thing I want to drive your atention:If homeless people do not deserve your look, how will they be considered into the social policies or the budget regarding the state of welfare of the city?
Here, in Buenos Aires, people who belong to "Círculo del Belgrano" are developing a project that is really fruitful; you can find among their goals someone like Horacio who is now a therapeutic agent, or a tango teacher, or a hairdresser, all of them with no expectations of leading their lifes at will, before entering in contact with the organization.
So this is why I have decided to post this first comment to let you know the organization and to let them get in touch with other organizations regarding this anguishing situation, rich cities with no place for many, many people that have been born in their bosom.
