Last
week we went to the Genesis shelter. The Genesis shelter is a place where
homeless babies and there families can have a temporary home. After a while
though they need to move on out of the shelter and find their own home. While
they are living there, the baby’s family members try to go out and find jobs.
The shelter gets donations that they use to help the babies and their families.
A lot of the time the families find homes and can rebuild their life. Most of
the donations that the shelter gets are items that the baby can use, like diapers,
or bottles. We also went to a place called the Georgia Justice Project. This is
a place where adults can talk to homeless kids that have a criminal record.
They try to talk them into ways they can turn their life around and get them a
home and job. One of our students dad runs the project. He says its always
rewarding helping people in need. After going to these places and seeing all
the people in need I felt as if I was responsible just for having more than
them. It was a strange feeling and I think that all of us need to help a
little.
