Poverty was a big issue when l became a professional youthworker in 1985 STILL it here |
The Brandt Report and research by UNA clearly indicate the urban poor worldwide have in common:
• feelings of powerlessness, insignificance, frustration, and despair
• fearfulness of the future
• low health expectation
• inadequate housing
• unemployment or underemployment
• insufficient money
• poor provision for education
• a higher rate of crime
• political turmoil
The reports do not mention
Emotional literacy or Spiritual poverty.
Neither do the UK statistics on Urban Deprivation.
if l can just make it through the next few weeks |
A poverty that imprisons the spirit the ultimate poverty is spiritual
