Describe the challenge you want to address:
A problem that I clearly see is immigration. Every time I take trains I see moms with their kids, selling candy, trying to get money. As my point of view , this is dangerous, kids are not going to school because they have to stay with their moms, so they get some money to survive.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Find houses to these families with kids. People that we know that came from other country to work, looking for a better future for their kids, a better life. To accomplish this goal, they need help, they need a home and a job. Not all immigrants come here for nothing, most of them look a good future.
