Question

Who is the person on the board outside and what is his story?

Answer

When we put the pictures on the board out the back here, we do not care whether you know their true story or not. What we want you to do is to look at the picture and identify with what you think the story is, then open your heart to that story and to other people in the world who may have the same story, and to anyone who might be involved in the story, their family, their friends and so on. As to the person actually yesterday, some people thought it was a man in jail, we could use the word jail but in a different way because he was not in jail. It was a poor man on a pension who cannot afford to live anywhere else except in that room, and the amount of things you saw on the picture, that was his possessions, he has no more than that. So that is a man with no family, no friends, nothing except a little pension and very little money, and very lonely we could say.
