Man, we have lots of forces battling against Poverty right now. Remember the Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness that I mentioned in both the Security or Poverty and Hunger Dinner articles? Did you read Sheliza’s poem on homelessness? What about Lily’s take on Seniors in Poverty? Okay, I know that’s a bit much of a homework assignment, but you better [...]

Over the last several months, I've seen YAA grow tremendously, and now, I can look back at 2,000 (!!!) posts on virtually any topic imaginable - the arts, news, philosophy, photography, religion, school, science, technology, random stuff; you name it.
