Re: Dispatches,Ch4 tonight ,Growing Up Poor
Apropos Poverty.
I have seen many programmes about poverty and seen it for myself.
Also had very little money but never asked anyone or the Government for help
Feeling sorry for people in this situation simply does not help.
They need help physically and mentally to look after children and homes.
I give food clothes and money to needy families that I know, incognito.
Also why have children if you are not able to support them?
To bring children up decently means many sacrifices for all parents.
Community Social Centers should be reopened for specially the unemployed.
Please tell Boris to do this right away
Many professional people would give their free time to teach a variety ways off better living, and trades as well with Cookery Art , Acting, Ballroom Dancing, all very civilized.
A carpenter could set up a Snack Bar with very little money and get used equipment, sometimes free.
There could be entertainment too, as there are lots of Comediennes around.
To help in this venture would give many people their pride back.
