At the Salvation Army

I were at the Salvation Army this evening. They have been delivering boxes with food to people. 20 families in my municipality and 10 in the neighbor city.

One like to believe that know one in Norway need this kind of help. Usually the government give you support. Well enough to survive. Food, rent, clothes. The basic needs will be covered. It's not a life in luxury, but you'll survive.

The soldiers told me that help is most needed in families with a drug problem. Some drunkards also need help, but they were not so demanding as the drug addicts. Some unemployed immigrants also needed support, and a very few new-poor families.

This is Norway. This is how we are.
