First, it was cleaner than I thought before visiting there.
The space to sleep seemed to be a little small, but it was organized that a lot of people can stay.
The first impression of homeless people was not so clean, so I could understand how the volunteers and the staffs are trying hard to make a good condition of the shelter.
In Japan, maybe there is no place like this. As a result, there are relatively many homeless people at riverside and on the rode. Even if there are facilities like this in Japan, it seems to be hard for homeless people to stay long. So, I was surprised that COTS have no limits to stay and people can save money for their future housing.
Before I visit COTS, I did not have so much questions about it, but a lot of things came up to my mind when I visit there. It was a really good opportunity to learn and think about new things.
i think and want to so. Japan has a lot of homeless, too. So, we may have to think a solution like VT.
ReplyDeleteHi,Shiho! I was surprised at no stay limit, too. I hope Japan provides homeless with treatment like COTS
