MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE OFTEN EXPERIENCE BEING IGNORED OR NOT EVEN LOOKED AT. WHILE WE HUMANS ARE MADE TO RECOGNIZE AND THEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER IN A SPLIT SECOND.
THE HOMELESS PARTY 2023 IS AN OUTDOOR FESTIVAL IN THE COURT GARDEN OF THE PROTESTANT DIACONATE AMSTERDAM.
THE DIACONATE IS PART OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCH AMSTERDAM.
IT IS AN ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO A CITY IN WHICH PEOPLE LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR CENTURIES, ALWAYS IN A WAY THAT SUITS THE TIMES.
THE HOMELESS PARTY IS DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY TO GIVE ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS A MOMENT'S PAMPERING. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU ARE NEWLY HOMELESS OR HAVE BEEN HOMELESS FOR A LONG TIME. IN ADDITION, EMPLOYEES OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO WELCOME

We are still glowing from a crazy day. This was hopeful proof that lots of people and companies can make the world a more beautiful place together. And where words fail, we have beautiful images.
