I am helping to lead a group who are part of the homeless population here in Boulder. We are doing a clean up project along Boulder Creek to serve the city of Boulder and raise money for the global poor at the same time.

If you are homeless in Boulder, you are definitely on the “margins” of our community. But you can also walk up to any drinking fountain and get a drink of safe, clean water. You can go to the Carriage House or the FEED and get a meal. You can access educational resources at the Boulder Public Library. You can go to the ER or People’s Clinic and receive medical care. And you even have access to some small income streams if you want to fly a sign on a street corner or sell copies of the Denver Voice.

None of those things are true of those who live in the poorest villages of the world where Global Hope Network does transformational community development to help these villages become self-sustaining in water, education, wellness, food and income.

So this project is about creating an opportunity for the poor to serve the poorest. It's also about helping people in the mainstream community have a real connection with people on the streets. Hopefully, this will inform their perceptions about what it means to be homeless.

I encourage you to support this effort by clicking on the "Give Now" button below or by selecting the link above: Team Name - Friends without homes...that will allow you to support  my team members. It all goes to the villages, and I would love to see everyone on our team reach their fundraising goal.

Gratefully,

Ken
