Piece Description

The piece was intended to spread awareness about the plight of homeless teenagers, who are not taught how to live on their own, and who are inequipped to pull themselves out of their situations... They either work for the minimum wage, or do not work at all, due to their lack of education. But because of their financial difficulties, acquiring an education is nearly impossible for them. The only way out is if an organization, funded by charitable, educated, and financially stable individuals, teaches homeless youth the basics of independent living, and assists in paying for higher education. In Santa Fe, such an organization does exist, however, in many places such organizations do not, and aid will only arrive for homeless youth elsewhere if the concept is spread, when the people of different, often more impoverished. areas are educated about both the general situation and the potentially great, numerable, benifits for society that come with raising the lowest financial tier of society to a higher level- something which only ever happens when the young are given the treatment and quality education they deserve.
