So many charities are appealing for us to help people in 3rd world countries, those who desperately need clean water, food and education. They do such amazing work and are making a real difference and they are going to need support continually to ensure they can continue to make a difference in those countries.
I completely support this work. I also believe that there needs to be a bigger push to look closer to home. There are so many in the uk living in poverty. They don't have safe shelter or enough food and are not getting education. They need our help also. And I truly believe that it would be effective to put an emphasis on those closest to home who need our help which will lead to being able to feel as passionate about those who need help around the world. We give money but are so disconnected from the reality we are trying to change. Working in our own realities first may enable us to feel more connected to the realities we are trying to change around the world.
For me, that's where YCW comes in. A movement working to make a difference in our own lives and immediate realities whilst also being passionate about making a difference in other people's realities.
