Simple but so important one on one interactions with homeless on the street are maybe one of the biggest need of all and if regular will lead to deeper understanding and more compassionate awareness and actions can happen  These interactions are in cape town

We also explore policies around the world that help such as HOUSING FIRST for HOMELESS and we try and show positive and negative objectively in the current social services available, with a view that criticism helps improve and praise helps strengthen.
