Bonaparte


I was encouraged to see how, without many words, one young American guy touched the hearts of our homeless. He quickly won their hearts with the short time he was with us, firmly becoming a favourite. There are echos of his time with us... he has a new name Napoleon Bonaparte ( B being for Byron), and they speak so fondly of him. Our homeless people never forget the kindness of strangers; it doesn't happen very often and it helps them to remember the world isn't as bad as it seems...
