The Culture of Poverty

cup-spring-08-and-volunteer-retreat-002

As part of the “Will You Drink From This Cup?” program, we lead a session entitled the Culture of Poverty. It is designed to help mainstream learners better understand the values and behaviors they encounter among persons who find themselves on the margins of society.

That session is co-led by one or more participants from our core program, where we are providing spiritual companionships to persons who find themselves on the margins of society.  This time, we were very capably led by Pedro and Eric in this discussion. They did an outstanding job. I was lucky enough to have my picture taken with my good friends.

    I agree with you Jim, that Pedro is a source of both laughter and wisdom. It is such a surprise to us “mainstream” persons to learn that those with lesser power than we in society have a wisdom to teach us.
