FINAL TEST: "A roof for my country" as a contributor towards a Colombia without poverty In a country beset by social problems in large quantities, and where poverty due to various reasons such as displacement and unemployment, it consumes more and more our population, we must seek alternative solutions that provide hope to these major groups of people who are mired in absolute poverty, without even the minimal resources such as housing, safety, or power
A clear reason for the problem of poverty in our country as they search for solutions in my opinion is not entirely a government responsibility, but are largely to blame, but also voluntary foundations can contribute with the increasingly difficult process of ending poverty in Colombia
A roof for my country, is a foundation, without any monetary sense, made entirely by young volunteers aware of the situation, just willing to help dedicate a bit of their time to contribute to good social action required to provide in a few hours, decent housing, and then a social support to enable them to take a first step towards economic development and offer them a better quality of life
future
Colombians, most aware of the problem raised above, are often indifferent to the social problems that are evident within of our nation, and although constantly, as we hear and comment on the important and encouraging management to perform this foundation, many times also falls on empty words and intentions, if it were possible to convert them into action, the outlook of those who need would be significantly different
A roof for my country, conducts a management that really helps in a meaningful way for families to get used to living in cans, trash or mud, providing basic shelter, called emergency housing, with who may feel warm. Furthermore, in the second stage of intervention, a roof for my country, provides training in basic skills, education, microcredit, health, legal aid and community work, and for this reason that these people manage to start again his life, opening opportunities to significantly improve their quality of life thanks to the contribution of this foundation .
A problem like poverty, is an issue that should concern us all and it is the duty of all, try to contribute to solve, an organization like this gives us the opportunity to do so without having to contribute financially and just be willing to help and solidarity, and while it is true that many people who want to help can not for various reasons, it is also true that many other, knowing what much they could help with some of your time, choose not to abstain and
no mood to take responsibilities to the government, these organizations were established in some way, necessary in our society, and that due to the magnitude of problem, obtain and exercise a total solution to it is entirely a utopia and for obvious reasons, the state is not able to control alone, without detracting from efforts to solve, "A roof for my country" has everything need to collaborate and is waiting for volunteers who understand the importance of solidarity for a problem like this
One of the main causes of poverty absolute that join every day but our country is the displacement, an aspect that encompasses a statistically significant and quite alarming, as they are displaced, living in poor conditions, even the residents themselves who live in absolute poverty major Colombian cities, moreover, the miserable conditions under which these people live, take many more dire and serious consequences, such as incurable, inevitable under the conditions in which they live and the assistance provided by the government to the displaced as that's not for everyone, nor for the most part. A reason for this attachment and I fully support the decision to link with "A roof for my country "to make our free time, a home for those who really need it
Could end up a foundation to such poverty in Colombia, the answer to this question, albeit somewhat pretentious, it could be a resounding NO, no one, not the size as now, not to the wishes of all the absence of actions and decisions, and definitely not without as assistant to a country aware of how useful it could be, support NGO's such as this. Nevertheless, its management, its intentions and its main mission enterprising and hopeful, is like most good things in life is to short, I tell few, because although it has taken already, a boom and is growing every day, not enough to cover the vast majority of the most critical areas that need immediate assistance is by no fault of UTPMP time, it would be virtually impossible to do in its entirety, but if possible in the future, with the help of companies that fortunately fund these projects, and of course, the integration of every day more and more young people, who represent the solidarity of the country, made
organization "A roof for my country, "is a magnificent project, with expectations and objectives in addition to being social and human, are clear and fairly well substantiated, they need like everything, the support of society, however, many people also know of the existence of this foundation, or just have heard of no importance, this is mainly due to poor handling advertising for the same reason is nonprofit and is funded by member companies, and it is clear that this could accommodate the public more, and perhaps much more integrated volunteers
Knowing then, that although this type of NGO's, contribute and help reduce rates poverty, the solution of this problem is impossible and utopian, Is it worth joining a project with no apparent positive result?, in this case, we are not talking about a business a job or career, we are talking about the welfare of entire families living in poor conditions daily, and we have the ability to help, so do not look at the problem of poverty as a general and impossible but as a constant controllable because is better, or rather, least worse, 16% to 30%, and while it may help for that, there will be people willing to do
can conclude mainly that poverty in Colombia is a multi-faceted problem and that must be addressed in different ways, therefore, is not a problem as it is concerned only the state, much less to this type of NGO's, your total solution is utopian, but I think it is better to try and contribute a little, simply lament the situation without knowing if they actually have been possible change in any way, is why "A roof for my country" for a person who really wants to show solidarity with this situation, the best option, to a Colombia free of poverty, and a country without indifference to the problems of others
