| Abstract: | Recently the Department of Social Policy and Social Work within the Faculty for Social Wellbeing organised a collection for the Food Bank in Valletta, a commendable initiative by the staff. However, I feel it is despondent that in this day and age we still need to have collection boxes and foodbanks because there are people out there who are at the bottom of the heap, unable to make it through the day. When will we see an end to handouts? When will poverty really be wiped out? I cannot understand this terrible contradiction; on one hand we have a booming economy, surplus recorded in our budget, practically no unemployment and yet here we are organising foodbanks. Don't you agree that there is something fundamentally perplexing? |
