RE: Engaging minds, cultivating dreams and learning everyday
howdy this fine Monday night macoolette! this is amazing, you have such a good heart to do this volunteering, I love it, great job and what a great cause! is this going to be a weekly meeting?
I'm doing good sir. How about you?
Thank you. This is a weekly activity that PAC coordinators are doing. Anyone who is free can join them. If you are asking about me if I am going to join on a weekly basis, unfortunately no. I don't think I will be able to make it regularly every week. I'll just do my best to join for as much as I can.
good morning to you macoolette? not sure what time it is there, here it is only 11:50 pm. ok so you won't be able to go with them and help because it takes too much time?
those apartment buildings from that neighborhood looked pretty bad didn't they?
Good morning to you! It's 8:01 pm here while I am typing this. It can already be 8:02 or 8:03 by the time I hit that post button. 😃
Yes, time will be the challenge to be joining the activity every Sunday. That is because I also go home to the province during weekends so I can not join every week.
The buildings indeed look bad. If our legislation to tear down high-rise facilities that are 50 years or older, I think those buildings are clear candidates to be torn down. But I heard, though I haven't really researched if it is true, that such legislation is no longer active so buildings will just be left for as long as it stands. I just hope that residents will take opportunity of that time to alleviate their standings and find a better place.
howdy macoolette! well those buildings should be torn down but I doubt if that happens, at least if things work there the way they do here. Those poor people probably have no choice or they'd move.
you go to your parent's home each weekend?
If people are educated enough to explore possibilities and opportunities, they can move out of such kind of facility without waiting for it to be torn down.
No. I don't go home every weekend because there are those catch-up weekends, meeting with friends, or just me-time weekend.
howdy there macoolette! yes Ma'am you are right of course, your first sentence, but there are a huge percentage of the population, at least in this country, who would never consider opportunities to improve their situation. I hope it's not as bad there, I don't know if that's just human nature or a cultural phenomenon.
But in regards to you...what does a "me-time" weekend look like? what do you do?
I wonder why this is so because I see the same thing here. Any idea?
Me-time is either doing nothing or anything that comes to mind. :)
hey there macoolette! wow your question is a huge one with no simple answers but generally speaking people become lazy and complacent when they get on government assistance which all of the poor people are on in this country and they develop an entitlement attitude expecting and demanding that they be taken care of and also a victim mentality where they think nothing is there responsibility.
We've worked with ex cons, people getting out of prison and they all have that same thinking.
as far as your last sentence..wow you could be a politician! lol. great non-answer!
