‘Ten Years On The Street’ – Length 06:44
Ken Hamilton is now an advocate for the homeless. He earned his stripes the hard way, having spent ten years living on the streets of Sydney. Which is tougher? Living on the streets or in a Housing Commission flat?
“There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help”
– Jan Schakowsky
