Reflection by UMEI student, Jillian Balzer



     I found it very interesting to learn more about homelessness in Ontario. Living in a small town like Leamington, it is easy to ignore homelessness since we are not exposed to the extreme poverty seen in big cities like Toronto. Without education about homelessness we have a twisted, unknowledgeable view of people on the streets. Through the TOOLS program I was able to gain understanding of the issues and needs of those facing extreme poverty and homelessness in Ontario. However, not only was the program informative, it was also very exciting. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to challenge and explore their faith.
