I am a schoolteacher who over the years has had students shoot each other dead, also friends of myself and my children. I have also seen into the crack world as an observor too close for comfort, and what I see in all cases is PAIN.
Mutilations from poverty, oppression, from history untaught and un remembered.
So education yes, money yes, but JUSTICE most important. Money and education are part of that.
Exposing white supremacy. Empowerment through true knowledge.
No missionary vibes of any kind. True self-empowerment.
