As the weather gets colder, I find myself hunkering down, limiting my time outside to the minimum amount possible. On the way to work in downtown Ottawa, I inevitably see some street people shivering in the freezing weather. I feel sorry for them, and hope they slept somewhere warm the night before. Even more depressing is seeing kids on street corners, begging for change. With that in mind, I decided to donate to Operation Go Home last week.
Operation Go Home aims to prevent homeless youth from becoming homeless adults. They go about accomplishing this mission by providing programs and services to approximately 350 youths in the Ottawa region each year. Attempting to reconnect kids with parents and guardians is an excellent initiative, and I sincerely hope they acheive their mission.
