Well done I said to him, as the girl looked at me, a bit confused as to what well done was on about. That means help can’t go to anyone who passes through a shelter or an outdoor camp or even to someone who sleeps outside temporarily. In the vast majority of cases, people who become homeless experience it briefly and are able to avoid losing housing again. Medicine men (Min-Parru) treated minor illnesses with bush medicine and rituals. All Munga-thirri-gnana practise this type of healing, but older women are usually the experts. Aunty Linda Crombie is one of the local women who still has the knowledge, particularly of plants which are used for remedies and medicines. She is consulted frequently. by my age of 16 i got a chance and courage to ask some questions about sex to her. she did not talk anything and seeked to be giving less care. That then reduced the overall number of private, low-cost housing units in the city. Ms. Graves said the whole region is experiencing an acute shortage of those kinds of private units now. It has become a game of musical chairs for housing-outreach workers to get a low-cost unit for someone trying to get out of shelters or off the street, she said.

There is already an air of permanence to the camp; the city has installed porta-potties, fresh drinking water and handwashing stations. Park rangers drop by a few times daily. The area is reasonably clean, but these are early days.The process is welcomed by the myriad of DTES support service groups who like their clientele close at hand and the clientele are fine with it as services are nearby. Rising rent prices that force people out of SROs is a significant factor, as well as landlords who refuse to rent to sex workers out of legal concerns, said Dilley. Low- income housing conditions that require tenants stay in at night or guests to sign in are also significant barriers. She estimates between 10 to 15% of sex workers fall under the category of “survival” or street- based prostitution. For that vulnerable population, simply switching professions is often not an option, said Dilley. DTES government and service support groups along with poverty pimp lawyers who have a hissy fit if anyone tries to change the dial, while also making money off the situation, has resulted in the perfect condition for drug dealers to flourish. Sleeping on a sidewalk in the Downtown East Side (DTES) of Vancouver BC takes on a different sense of survival than is observed in many west side sleepers. A combination of mental issues, drug sale and use, area resident poverty and the resulting community of "Customers With No Cash" combine for a perfect locale to take advantage of people on the edge where living is not comparable to what most of us bring to mind in our own comfortable world. Prostitution and drugs are a large part of this community. One can not help feel sorry and remorseful this exists in self important Vancouver. How much older than you is she ? I ask because if she wasnt much older its no big deal. Cousins often marry. If she was forty she is very norty.

Unescapable Boredom has always been a trigger for some of my most peevish muses, and sometimes that has landed me in quite hot water !From the archives, Fort Kochi Carnival of 2008, I presume this is a poor imitation of a Theyyam dancer. They all though it cute enough, especially the gullible Grandmother, who thought it was “precious” and just laughed, and squealed happily, “look another drive by hugging”, or “thanks for the hug honey, it was needed”, encouraging to no end the youth to keep his voyeuristic advances up, for he attempted this several more times as I stood watching from the sidelines … Though his Grandmother was the only female not to fend off repeated attempts! The richest of societies should be especially judged by how they treat their least fortunate, and Vancouver has its challenge set out for the foreseeable future.

In a few minutes the pair of them were on the wooden dance floor, once again looking exceptionally cute as a couple, as they danced to a rather preferable romantic slow tune whose name has slipped my mind, so focused was I on my mischievous endeavor being carried out ! Today there are at least 6 City of Vancouver development permit applications on file for more social housing in the DTES. Said Lad, whose fingers were doing more touching than just tagging the fancy dress of his fetchingly attired playmate. In the post-war period, right through to the mid-’60s, Vancouver was ground zero for Canada’s intravenous drug scene, made up mainly of petty criminals, troubled youths fed by drug lords. By the mid-1930s, heroin was one of the most common drugs in circulation and white users were increasingly taking the drug intravenously, especially as prices rose due to scarcity brought about by vigorous law enforcement.

A days drive though the narrow highway NH 17 that runs on the west coast of India from Kanyakumari to Mumbai brought me to Tirunavaya from Cochin on one hot day in May 2008 just before I left Kerala for good. Thirunavaya is a small non descript habitation on the banks of river Bharathapuzzah in North Kerala. They had a Kalari conventino going there. In 2021, 71% of those who died as a result of suspected drug toxicity were between 30 to 59, and 78% were male. Stories of ancestral travels and adventures are recorded in landscape features like sandhills, trees, and soakages. Songs, dance, sacred boards and paintings also tell stories which cross many language groups. For example, numerous groups share "the two boys dreaming" - a songline story about a journey by two boys from Dalhouse Springs across the desert to Birdsville (Wirrarri).
