The Simon Community.

Yesterday,Thrusday, ty's gathered in the library for a talk on homelessness and the Simon Community.Before the talk I was'nt sure what this talk would be about;what homlessness was?if we should donate money?After this talk,by question was answered!It was very interesting and was all about the Simon Community and about a side of homlessness i was'nt aware of before yesterday

 There are houses spread out in a number of counties in Ireland just for homeless people to go when they have nowhere to sleep for the night.But not only that,alot of activities take place in these houses.
   Ms O' S told us about when she worked during the summer in a house for homeless people and she did art with the people staying there.There were lots of pictures of paintings she showed us and they were amazing!The colours,designs everything was great about the art work!


  I learnt that there are so many volunteers who work with homeless people in the houses doing activities with them and lots more.Also,homelessness can be struck on anyone from jsut making a couple of mistakes and they may have had a great job before this.

It was a very interesting and thanks to Ms O' S for giving us the talk.
