I had mixed feelings about the trip to the Los Angeles Poverty Department. As we were on our way I was expecting a bit more than I got from the whole thing. As we made the walk over to the building I passed murals a homeless people and only one word came to my mind... “Grateful.” These people that we saw only had a shopping that could call their own; along with anything they could stick inside it. And here I was, with my iphone in hand, texting.
I also enjoyed watching some of these artist create as walked by. They are the prime example of artist who create art for the sole purpose of creating art. There is no hidden objective that they are trying to accomplish because some of these individuals have nothing left.
Though I learned alot from the presentation, I wish we could have gone deeper. Rather than listening to skits I would much rather have a more “hands on” approach to leaning about this issue. But all in all, I’m glad I made the trip and I have a greater sense of humility because of it.
