Prevention of poverty and homelessness: purpose of my blog

Hi, my name is Kylie, and I chose poverty and homelessness in my home city of Saskatoon for my blogging topic throughout the year. I think to have shelter and family is one of the most important things in life and for people not to have it is horrible.
I already know some things about it but want to learn more. My eventual goal is to try and figure out how I/we can change this and prevent it, because we are all effected by it.
As I learn I will communicate what I learn by writing, multi-media, podcasts and video!
I will be doing alot of thinking on this topic. Mostly, this will involve coming up with ways to address homelessness and poverty in Saskatoon.
Another one of my main goals is for me to relate with those homeless, hungry people, and put myself in their shoes, and ask myself a question, "What would it be like?" And hopefully by the end of the year that question will be answered.

My project is called 'if it were my home' , for this assignment we had to choose 10 countries, and 5 criterias. Then we had to make a spreadsheet, and order them from which would be the best live in to the worst. The we made a multi-media, to share with the world!!!
Hope You enjoy!
