I thought it’s worst here in the Philippines , because there are a lot of homeless people in the streets , in the evacuation centers or at any vacant spaces where they build a very small shack , that at a gust of a bit stronger wind they would be flown away .
How much more when there is a typhoon or flood ?
This has been one of the perennial problems in the Philippines that the government cannot eradicate . Though it is a consolation ( if it really is ) that some very poor people chose to build some small shacks under some bridges in Manila .
But still their conditions are what we can call on the verge of not humane , because they don’t have the proper waste elimination amenities and potable water since their wastes directly goes to the river , thereby adding to the pollution of the river as well as the place.
Though , one thing nicer is that we don’t have winter , thus they don’t have so much coldness that the homeless from other countries suffer , causing them to die from it.
However , I have seen at Facebook that in some Americans too are homeless. They are just in the streets with blankets .
But now that it is winter there , how do they survive? Though, I have also known through blogs that there are free foods being given to poor people and some offers free shelters to those homeless. At least, they can go there to sleep at night.
So sad , that some people are homeless, while rich people have one or two big houses.
I hope the very rich people can donate money to make houses for the homeless and also give them jobs that can sustain their living.
And how I wish there will be something that can be done by the governments of each country that have lots of homeless people , so no one will be sleeping on the streets and face the risk of the cold climate or the rampage of drug addicts or lawless people.
Are there also homeless people in your country? What is your government doing to help them?

Well yeah, homelessness is a global phenomenon. It probably is in correlation with how capital minded a goverment/society is. Sure the goverment will make homeless shelters and soup kitchens but that sure as hell isn't enough. I'm from europe an the last few years there has been a stream of immigrant from the middle east because of this the goverment has done even less for our homeless patriots, who don't commit crimes. It is like they have been forgotten. After all we all know how politicians act, for them it is the public eye that matters not a heart of compassion.
When Jesus said “The poor ye have always with you”, He wasn't saying to ignore them and not show charity. The greatest gift is love (or charity).
For every country that exists that has governing leaders and/or rich people, there is no excuse for homelessness.
It's true, there are some people who create their own bad situations in life and end up where they end up. No matter how much you try to help them, they just stay down.
But most often homeless people live the way they do because they have either always been poor or were once financially sufficient but have fallen upon hard times. There are those who have the power to extend a helping hand, but they are too selfish to be bothered. They have other “priorities”.
Many religious organizations or charity foundations do what they can to address this social problem. But there are people in government positions who actually have a job where they are supposed look out for the welfare of the poor citizens and they don't do their job! But they still get a paycheck. There are other people who have more than enough money and can donate the funds – I said DONATE – to create homes, serves food, etc. It's their money. You can't tell them what to do with it. If they choose to turn their heads and look the other way, it's their decision.
Homelessness is a problem than can easily remedied.
Homelessness, “the have-nots”, exists because of the selfishness of “the haves”.
