The voice of a child. We all know there is nothing like it. The profound wisdom they share on a whim. The black and white view of what’s right and wrong or good and bad. And, for better or worse, the straightforward – and sometimes raw – honesty. No matter the socioeconomic background, culture, or academic ability, we can always learn something from the words of a child. Those children and youth in our community who are experiencing homelessness are no different. When we are able to really hear what they say, hearts and minds are opened.
