hunger and homelessness is a social issue that could have taken me anywhere. why london? when writing my proposal, i thought about the US. how can we better care for our hungry and homeless? perhaps we needed some new ideas. thus began a search for a "developed nation" with similar causes of hunger and/or homelessness along with comparable rules and regulations for addressing social welfare. (no use in using malawi as a case study when 90% of its population relies on agriculture.) tada! london.
ironically, the same hoops i knew i'd have to jump through have served as my primary source of frustration. the brits certainly don't make it easy. but, after a two and a half hour orientation, i'm cleared to work in the UK. except as an entertainer, professional sportsman, or an entrepreneur. even though i only wanted to volunteer.
so, when will hilary finally get her hands dirty and get to work? glad you asked. i have a meeting with the project manager at FareShare tomorrow at "half past one."
in the mean time, i now have a mailing address and a cell phone number, both of which are available through facebook or my mother.
