I grew up in a wealthy district called the British Properties in West Vancouver. One day a friend of my little sister’s visited and went home and announced to her mother that she had met some poor people (namely us). Her mother asked how she knew. She replied “They don’t have a swimming pool.” Perhaps I should then not be so surprised at people organising charities to buy expensive hockey equipment and ice time for “underprivileged children” when there are still kids going without food, shelter or medical care.
