At the start of this unit I didn’t know much about the homeless in France. I knew they didn’t have a house and they didn’t have much money but now I’ve learnt a lot more about them. Some of the information I have learnt is where they live, what they have and how it is different to Australia. Lots of the homeless people in France live in the city, on the streets, in parks, under bridges and at train stations. Most of them have no money, no shelter and no friends or family to help and support them improve their situation. Homelessness is very different in France compared to Australia because there is lots more people in poor situations. All in all, the learning I did this term gave me a greater understanding as to what homelessness is like in France.

With all this learning in mind, we are starting a project to raise some awareness about homelessness. We have decided to do a sausage sizzle in the next few weeks and donate the money we have earned to the marketplace at Salvos.
