These are the powerful words of Dr. John Falzon, Chief Executive Officer of St. Vincent De Paul Society. He shared these challenging words on his message not only to all members of the Society but to everyone.
One of the noteworthy activities of St. Vincent De Paul Society is providing shelter to those homeless individuals. But their good deeds don't cease there since they also provide basic necessities such as food, clothing, and company.

The problem on poverty and the consequences like homelessness is experienced even by the wealth countries such as such as Australia. If we could take a look at the statistics given by the St. Vincent De Paul Society's National Overview 2014, in Australia alone there is one homeless person in every 200 individuals. And in the 2011 census, there are 105,257 reported Australians who are homeless.
Thus, this part of the report just shows that even rich countries like Australia is encountering this kind of alarming situation. Hence it is so great to know that there are generous organisations such as St. Vincent De Paul Society that organise and facilitate concrete actions to alleviate the conditions of those unfortunate members of society.
And may there be more individuals who are willing to share and offer their blessings to help the poor. After all we are equal regardless of differences in age, colour, race, etc..
Share love and live life to the fullest.
