I must admit when we went to visit LAPD, I thought we were going to hear stories about how the residents of skid row got there. Part of me wanted to know why and was curious. Maybe I was the only one? I'm not so sure why either.
ANYWAYS!
I was still trying to process the whole performance during the ride back. I wasn't sure where the Dutch guy was going with his project?
But I loved the life that everyone there had. The excitement. The joy. Hope. And most of all that there was no shame. They all take care of one another and are a huge family. It was rather welcoming. And they were wonderful performers, it was noticeable they enjoyed being up there and it came from the heart because they experienced it before.
Ok, I feel I'm rambling on about different things here...
I kind of want to learn a little more about the organization but coming from the people who started it. To start an organization is difficult but with people who might not want to participate for whatever the reason.
I'm curious about what happens to the people who they help out and leave skid row, do they ever? What about the children?
I guess I have more questions than anything..
I had a interesting time.
