while the next generation build their own home from the start ....
The news on slums returning in this country .... They never left.
In my years of moving around counties and in my vocation and volunteering I have seen much squalor. And of course it goes without saying ... how my very own home disappeared over a period of traumatic time.
On living and working in a city for a few years. The many travels within that city. The high rise, the hospital I had access to the inner workings via Consultants and Professors. The cleaning staff of other cultures with limited English. The team of valued people in different layers of life. The basic to real gold taps and decor oozing out of decadence.
The much varied time from those that have or not... Those that shelter where they can on the street. And the good Samaritans who help these very same people in Knightsbridge, one day when they were haemorrhaging on the pavement from being unwell ...
We are in much thankfulness and appreciation with what we have ... And in our background volunteering with our peers some of us strive to make it better instead of worse, like those ruthless greedy from self means in landlords being portrayed in the news yet again ...
