You don't have to be living on the street to be homeless. You may be legally classed as homeless if you are sleeping on a friend's sofa, staying in a hostel, or suffering from overcrowding or other bad conditions.
Trinidad is a cosmopolitan society made up of the haves and the have nots. An island which has been so lucky to have the commodity of oil that has helped the country to grow in stature. But since independence 31st August 1962, the troubles of homelessness and vagrants have become gradually worse.
As we draw nearer to 2020 and with our country's aim to compete with the world's in all fields, let us not forget those that are less fortunate, through no fault of there own, they have become destitute and hopeless on our streets. Those of us who have, need to share our money, time and talents by showing, respect for others, responsibility to make a difference and regard for our community.
Are we as a Nation ready to make a commitment, a real commitment to take on the challenge of giving back to our community to make a difference for others and ourselves. Are you ready to raise the bar and set a higher standard both socially and economically to make our community a great example for others to follow? It's time to take action now...Get involved today!
