I (with other volunteers) put together hundreds of free meals for families around DC ravaged by HIV/AIDS and now by other debilitating illnesses that make preparing food at home difficult like cancer, lung and heart disease, etc. DC is a beautiful city but one with high rates of severe illnesses. There needs to be a better job done in DC of teaching the many poor people living in DC to try to take better care of themselves and also to provide those who want such things the means to do healthwise better for themselves, diet and otherwise.

Here we are the USA trying to either police the world or to “save” the world from itself, but can’t even improve literacy, education, poverty, HIV/AIDS, homelessness and other conditions in its own capitol city! Shameful!
