Homelessness is a situation in our society that we interfere with because we don’t “notice” it. The conditions are that they cannot maintain a stable life because they have to find a shelter, food, and clothes.

Homeless people are just like us, they have a family, a home, friends and relatives. We should not discriminate and look down on them just because they live in the streets. Instead of looking down upon them, we should try our very best to help them, support them and be involved in charities causes. I want audiences to support homelessness by making them feel secure and apart of us.

The video I’ll be presenting will include images of homeless people and typography to express the meaning of the image. The presentation will be a slide transitions; images will include homeless shelters, homeless people sleeping on streets, and etc. I will also be including some type of music that is suitable for the homelessness atmosphere.
