I have lived there since my birth in 1968. In this community one half of the population is over 18 years old, and for most, life is a continuous scrounging for survival. On any given day men and women pass the time playing dominoes and smoking ganja.
Teenage pregnancy is high-consequential to acute unemployment.
The typical family is a single parent living in a tenement. Drugs and guns have been introduced too into the community, and factored into this matrix is the great political divide. We do not want any more guns. We do not want any more pity. We are tired of persons and groups seeking mileage out of us.
