Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Social alienation will be diminished and conflicts will be reduced. Acceptance and inclusion of homeless people in our society will grow as people come to see themselves and their own humanity in homeless people. Real solutions will then be possible.
Project Message
The Hearts of Fire visit to Community of Hope proved to be a huge success. Homelessness is a misunderstood phenomenon and programs like this allow the general population to be enlightened about it.
