Who are the poor in my life?

Those who lack power, education and resources, in Australia, but more in the 80%-world, especially Africa which has particular problems with climate, resources, access to transport

The poor in spirit
• Students who are gifted in music or art but whose parents pressure to study law or medicine
• Close friends and relations who may need comfort or support

Michael’s story of Juan Geradi and Fr Rigoberto was very challenging - I don't think I do feel a call to Latin America because I know that it would be hard on my family if I put myself in a situation of potential violence, but I was affected by his point of the importance of solidarity. I wonder how I can do this, not I think, through political action, but surely in some way through education, as I have such a great deal of experience in this area.
