We also discussed the service about what poverty look like and shared some local statistics. I also made collective worship sessions (meetings) in three primary schools and heard that the children were such a high deprivation.
We finished the service with prayers and felt better understanding that we are trying to achieve what the participants are trying to achieve. I would like more participants, but this time it was not well disclosed, so I plan to build a quiet day in our local park (air permit), which is in ghost and reality. Hopefully, the message with more time and more participants will be included and poverty stains and embarrassment will be removed, so more people can stand up and review their stories. In this way, I hope that it will take action to support each other and play the concerns and opinions of people and put an end to poverty for everyone.
