Title: "Heroes Helping the Homeless"

"We think that it is extremely important to take consideration into helping people in need. We want people to know how important poverty and homelessness is, they’re very serious matters that need to be attended to. That’s why we decided to do this project.  When we were doing the project, we were amazed by the amount of homelessness in Calgary. And we believe that the city needs to take more responsibility in it. We used Inn From The Cold as our project because they are the organization that has made the biggest effort to help homeless kids in our city. They help hundreds, maybe thousands, of parents, kids and families. A lot of the kids from Inn From The Cold go to our school. Inn From The Cold not only provides food and shelter to homeless people, they help to find jobs for the parents and adults so they can eventually afford their own houses. In doing this project we hope to help show people the amount of homelessness and poverty in our city, and all around the world."
