This show was filled with different ideas and backgrounds. I agree that every child is our responsibiltiy rather ours or not, the child has been put in our path for a reason. I volunteered last summer for volunteers of America and gave up because of the negativety of the community workers in their conversation with the students. I was very fustrated to hear a student advisor harp for the children to say thankyou to certain donators and in closing she stated more than once “you are the most under privileged, low status children in the community and they helped you” my heart was broken to know that a majority of leaders are telling these kids they are lucky to even have crayons for their projects!! I agree we need to be encouragers and stop blaming the goverment.
