 | | The latter group are the ones who made up the teams for the Homeless World Cup - and all they want is a chance to help themselves, not much beyond that, a ticket into normal life and acceptance... |
 | | Yup, and there's the illegal immigrants who've often walked in from Romania and Russia and Albania, or who've been smuggled in from Nigeria and Afghanistan, young people, mostly, hiding out in the forests wishing for a better life some day, but keeping covert so that the authorities won't send them back. |
 | | There are the "local" homeless people, who've often been living in the same spot for years, and who walk the streets sleeping in the same containers night after night, not expecting any change, and in many cases not wanting any change, just slipping in and out of a state of drunken stupor or drug-related indifference. |
