Hole in the Bucket

Hole In The Bucket is a show about the many faces of poverty. Poverty underlies and aggravates practically every human ill. Something recognized  and vocalized by every one of our guests. Consequently, 'Hole In The Bucket' addresses many areas of the human experience.  War, for example, diverts money from domestic programs and creates vets returning with PTSD and brain trauma. These vets impact health, police, housing, women, children, elders, loss of productive workers, loss of- you name it. You tell us. The list expands quickly. The potential of this show, sadly, will only grow greater. So, tune in, phone in, go online at kboofm/holeinthebucket- let us know what concerns you, what you want covered, what you think about this perverse human experience broadly called 'poverty'.

Hole in the Bucket: Poverty in Togo

program date: 
Tue, 07/08/2008

Part 1 of 2 

Interview with Jean-Pierre Dessou about poverty and homelessness in Togo, West Africa, and an interview with Brian Lindstrom, documentary film maker working on Alien Boy, a film telling the story of Jim Chasse, focusing on his last day, when Portland police stomped him. They believed he was a drug dealer when he was a person dealing with schizophrenia who in his earlier life had been a musician of local note.  Interesting juxtaposition of the lack of social stigma of poverty in Togo and the police beating of Jim instigated in large part by his appearance. Togo knows community. Portland's police don't.

Hi,

Just a correction, we are not "sisters of the road". We are WHEEL. Thank you very much for having us on this evening.

Jessie Pedro
WHEEL/Women in Black

mistakes are made; thanks for visiting

Inadvertently, we confused Sisters Of The Road with WHEEL on the website. I requested correction and hope it's been made. Both Sisters and WHEEL are wonderful empowerment folks. This is first time I've seen your post, so if it hasn't been corrected, I'll move on that.
Please keep me on your email list. I'd really like to stay aware of what you all are doing. Take care and thanks again.
