Poverty Bootcamp
IHTSW!? Get Out and Shoot
I attended a Poverty Bootcamp put on by Food for the Hungry to learn about poverty, assumptions, the vulnerable and what is the best way to address these things, while maintaining the dignity of everyone involved. It was a bit like drinking from a firehose and it sure challenged some of the ideas I came in with. To be honest, I have not been an informed citizen when it comes to social justice and issues around it. I felt so small in an issue so large: what can I do that could possibly help? This day and a half of sessions has opened my eyes and helped me to see hope where I did not see it before. Poverty comes in many forms: it's not just about those who have no material items. You can experience poverty emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. I learned that above all, everyone has their own story and there is no blanket solution - but... there are solutions!!
WIT: Brought my camera with me and snapped pictures here and there as we had some quiet, contemplative time in our table groups. In post, cropped, did some RAW adjustments and levels.
