Hidden Jewels in the Gutter

There are homeless people everywhere that develop many different trades and techniques. They do this in order to make a small living to possibly by a meal, get fare to get to a shelter or the tiny cluster of the city that they call home. Many homeless people rather entertain those whom they are begging for money rather than just simply beg. They do things like singing, dancing, and if they can playing an instrument. They put on a small show in hopes that enough people will give them money to get it for whatever they need it for.

Temple Kids assist NYC Homeless


Youth groups from two reform congregations came to together to help the homeless. They stayed up pass midnight giving the homeless food, blankets ad other amenities. This goes to show you that not only adults are trying to help the homeless but also young people are making strides in helping those who are impoverished. As the youth go to help the homeless, it has become a learning experience for them. They are now open minded and have the ability to speak with the recipients, who often share their personal stories with the volunteers. As you read the article you will notice the relationship that developed between the youth group and the homeless.
