The People Concern (formerly OPCC and Lamp Community)

I believe that more people need to engage in global citizenship. Many people forget that homeless individuals are a group of human beings who have struggled to find a place in our society. I have studied homelessness through school and have learned that many people attribute negative stereotypes to homeless people without actually knowing the facts. In fact, for my intercultural communications class I was assigned to a group to present a presentation on way we can achieve social justice. My groups members and I decided to talk about homelessness in America to provided statistics and options on how to help homeless people. The essence of this presentation was seen when my other classmates came to the relization that they tend to look past homeless individuals. Therefore, if everyone took the time out of their day to help someone who is less fortunate than they are they should. This organization is doing something great for homeless individuals and deserve to have more volunteers.
