I have lost count of how many homeless, blind, crippled and old people i have passed in the streets in the last 12 months....begging for money.
I wish there was something i could do, what is being done?
Why is it that a blind woman must sing in the street to feed and cloth herself, amputees without even arms to reach for help.

i cant even imagine how it would feel.

And yet people still worry about petty things.

hmmm

its sad... i know nothing of what you have seen, but in australia, to finally become homeless must be a very hard thing to come to terms with... like you would obviously be without family to help out or give you shelter. i know if i became so destitute i would swallow my pride and move home to mum and dads. maybe alot of it is to do with pride as well... dont want to seem like they failed, and their families may not even know how they are living?
who knows... but i guess we are very lucky here, and like melly said, there are support systems in place as long as you dont abuse them.

cant wait till you are home... it seems so long since you left, yet at the same time it feels like yesterday we were at the ball etc

HAVE FUN! cant wait to see more of your pics!

I'm not sure about the comment of support systems in place being entirely accurate, but Australia does have one of the good few support systems in the world.

That said, people fall through the cracks or simply aren't eligible.

There are things you can do back here at home. As for while traveling, I'm not sure.

Not long to go now Miss. Not long at all.
