Understanding and acting on homelessness
It is the antithesis of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. A man lay untended near a busy thoroughfare. A hundred thousand commuters stream past, unseeing. He dies.
The Guardian recently published the report about Bikram Lama, a young man whose decomposing remains were found beside bushes at an entrance to St James train station in the city.
The report has shocked the wider community into facing up to the stories of the unseen, invisible incidences of present-day homelessness.
