| The time has come for us to take a closer look at the way we address poverty in our society. There is no question we have a responsibility to provide a safety net for those who fall on hard times of those who for no fault of their own, find it difficult to care for themselves. The welfare systems has come under strong debate due to the cheats and the cornice recipients, those who coose welfare as their permanent source of income. We need to see beyond that and remind ourselves the sole purpose for the welfare system in canada is to provide assistance or emergency funding to those in need. It is the belief of this foundation that not all welfare recipients fall under this category. There are hard working people who for whatever reason finds themselves requiringassistance. The records show a large percentage of thr population as never being exposed to alternative ways of acquiring wealth/income. For example, the value of saving, the entrepreneur, or the art of budgeting. The only options the though they had were to get a job or acquire government assistance. Router of Peace agrees and support the debate that calls for counseling programs teaching the fundamentals of aspiring financial stabitity. A program that gives individuals the opportunity to look at the options stated above. This program should be available not only to people om assistance but to anyone who sees such counseling as a way of breaking the cycle of poverty. The provincial government has expressed the need for such a program. Routers of Peace is willing to administer the programs if the government is committedto it's implementation. If we take a serious look at this anti-poverty program, there is no douby we will see a win win situation. In the coming months, Routers of Peace will be approaching the provincial government with a request for funding in order to implement such a program. WEwill keep you posted on our progress. |
